Thunder Score Late, Topple Blues, 5-2
The Tampa Bay Thunder earned a win at Blues Field, stopping the New York City Blues, 5-2. Starting pitcher Kevin Schuerger played a big role in his team's success. With the victory, the Thunder upped their record to 43-27.

Tampa Bay needed the clutch hitting of Kengo Miyake to seal the deal. The left fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Thunder on top, 3-2. For the game, Miyake had 1 home run and 2 singles in 3 at-bats.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Tampa Bay manager Dick Granade. "That's what Kevin is right now."
