Motors Win 8-7 Nail-Biter Versus Thunder
The Detroit Motors topped the Tampa Bay Thunder, 8-7, in 12 innings. Detroit catcher Gabe Espinoza, in particular, was impressive. He went 3-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Detroit reliever Chris Bratton picked up the win to move to 5-2. Dylan Smith suffered the loss. Detroit now has a record of 32-24 with the win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bill Sposito in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a solo home run off 29-year old right-handed pitcher Dylan Smith to win the game for Detroit. The home crowd went nuts.

"We kept coming at guys," Detroit manager Sean Morgan said. "We kept digging."
