Pafford Delivers Walk-Off Win for Northmen
The Twin Cities Northmen finished things off in style.

The Atlanta Generals got a superb performance from center fielder Danny Bleicher. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Twin Cities. The Northmen won the game, 5-4. Bleicher was 3-3 with 3 singles and a walk. The 5th-place Northmen raised their record to 68-93.

Kevin Pafford was the walk-off hero for Twin Cities. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Northmen pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Pafford described the clubhouse as "kind of rowdy" after the game.
