The Toronto Titans earned a win at Titans Fields, stopping the Tampa Bay Thunder, 8-2. Starting pitcher Jurg van Gelderen played a big role in his team's success. Toronto now sits at 22-33, while Tampa Bay falls to 24-31.

Gary Payer had a big 2-run double for the Titans in the bottom of the third inning. With Toronto leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a slider from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Donte Alexander and swatted a double to left. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Titans ahead, 3-0.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Payer.
