Seattle Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
Led by Tom Howard, the Seattle Emeralds downed the Twin Cities Northmen, 9-8. Howard was 1-1 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Emeralds. Twin Cities, at 22-45, has lost 4 straight.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Seattle catcher Eddie Rodriguez, facing Curt Kirkley, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Emeralds the 9-8 win.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Howard told the Seattle Gazette.
