Yankees Outdo Black Bears in Extra Innings
The Staten Island Yankees beat the West Virginia Black Bears, 10-9, in 13 innings, in part because of left fielder Mike Thomas. He was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Staten Island reliever Oscar Arzola was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Ernesto Lopez. Picking up the save was 21-year old left-handed pitcher Alfredo Aragon.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Dan Chacon came to bat in the top of the 13th. Facing West Virginia pitcher Ernesto Lopez, he hit a 1-1 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Staten Island on top, 10-9.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Thomas said.

The second-place Black Bears dropped to 19-17.
