Thunder Thrill Fans with 11-9 Win
Behind a solid performance from third baseman Matt Lawrence, the Tampa Bay Thunder defeated the Detroit Motors, 11-9. Lawrence was 4-6 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Thunder. The winner in relief was Jim Rodriguez. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings. He now owns a record of 1-0. Detroit, with the loss, is still a hardy 3-1.

The decisive blow was delivered by Travis McCombs in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a 2-run home run off 26-year old left-handed pitcher Mario Gonzalez to win the game for Tampa Bay. The home crowd went nuts.

"If you're not prepared, it's not pressure you feel, it's fear," mused Tampa Bay manager Ray McKay.
