The Chicago Union managed to get by the Tampa Bay Thunder, 8-7, at The Thunder Bowl. Chicago pitcher Sergio Hernandez set himself apart with his performance. Chicago reliever Sergio Hernandez, who finished 5th in the EC in wins with 12 in 2022, was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-2. Dylan Smith took the loss for Tampa Bay. With the win, Chicago raised its record to 35-28.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Tom Shelton? The Chicago second baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Union on top, 8-7. For the game, Shelton had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We took home the win," said Hernandez. "What's not to like?"
