Tom Higgins was a vital contributor to the 6-5 Tampa Bay victory over St. Louis. The Thunder designated hitter was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Tampa Bay is now 9-11, while St. Louis is 13-7.

Matt Durgan was the walk-off hero for Tampa Bay. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Thunder third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"The fans went nuts at the end," Durgan said.
