Late Heroics Net Northmen 5-4 Win
The Twin Cities Northmen did just enough to sneak past the Houston Drillers, 5-4, at Twin Cities Stadium. Twin Cities left fielder Pete Walker, in particular, had a standout performance. Twin Cities reliever Paul Whitaker picked up the win to move to 2-1. Bill Footman suffered the loss. The win has Twin Cities at 14-15.

In the bottom of the tenth, with the score tied, Walker hammered a solo home run to win it for Twin Cities.

"That was your kind of game, if you like high drama," said Northmen manager Jason Gudim.
