Lions Score Late, Topple Thunder, 4-3
St. Louis parlayed a decent outing from starter Paul Easterling into a solid win over the Tampa Bay Thunder. The final score was 4-3. St. Louis reliever Danny Gonzalez picked up the win, raising his record to 2-1. Mike Walker was tagged with the loss. The Lions bumped their record to 25-21 with this latest triumph.

The Lions were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth inning, when 28-year old catcher Josh Greenleaf landed a big blow. He turned a 1-1 curveball from Mike Walker into a 2-run single. The walk-off single sent the The Lions Hearth denizens into a frenzy and sent the Lions home with a thrilling 4-3 win.

"Paul has the heart of a gladiator," said St. Louis manager Leo Cruz.
