Thunder Get Close Win Over Lions, 3-2
Tampa Bay Thunder starter Kevin Schuerger turned in a sterling performance against the St. Louis Lions, leading his team to a slim, 3-2 win. Schuerger yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. His record improves to 6-0. Akihisa Shibuya recorded the save for Tampa Bay, his 6th of the season.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jeremy Handy? The 29-year old shortstop Handy stroked a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Tampa Bay up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said St. Louis manager Leo Cruz. "The effort was great."

With the win, the Thunder sit at 23-22.
