Lawrence Goes Deep Twice in 6-3 Thunder Win
The Tampa Bay Thunder cut down the Atlanta Pilots by the score of 6-3, with the largest share of the credit going to shortstop Matt Lawrence. Lawrence belted 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for the Thunder. Tony Molina earned the win for Tampa Bay. He lasted 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 2. With the win, he raised his record to 8-9. The defeat makes Atlanta 42-41.

Tampa Bay took a 6-2 lead on Lawrence's 5th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Mike Krohn in the top of the eighth, propelled Tampa Bay to the win.

"Not the sexiest win," said Thunder manager Ray McKay, "but I'll take it."
