Bluebirds Rally to Win
The Nashville Bluebirds stopped the Tampa Bay Thunder, 6-5, in 10 innings at The Thunder Bowl. The Bluebirds got a big game from Frank Flores, who was 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, a double, and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Ricky Medina closed the game out for Nashville, earning his 4th save. Nashville is now 36-49, while Tampa Bay is 43-42.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Cody Kreitman? The 26-year old left fielder Kreitman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Nashville up, 6-5. For the game, he was 3 for 6, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Kreitman told the Nashville Chronicle.
