Walk-Off Win Makes Detroit 25-22
The Detroit Motors had to overcome a big game from Chicago third baseman Tom Shelton to leave The Motor Yard with a victory. And they did, winning, 9-8. Shelton went 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Detroit is in 5th place in the Eastern Circuit with a record of 25-22.

Gabe Espinoza was the walk-off hero for Detroit. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Motors catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Detroit skipper Sean Morgan.
