Northmen Win in Extras, 4-3
The Twin Cities Northmen faced a tough opponent in New York pitcher Jon Pierce, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Queens Field by a final score of 4-3. Pierce went 9 innings and allowed 3 runs. Twin Cities has run its win streak to 6 in a row.

Twin Cities used the timely hitting of Buddy Shingleton to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Northmen on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was terrific getting this win," Shingleton said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
