Lighting Use Late Rally to Win 5th Straight
The Thunder Bay Lighting had to overcome a big game from Manchester second baseman Christoph Schuler to leave Moose Head Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-4. Schuler belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Mario Montes picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-0. Vinny Medina was tagged with the loss. Juan Valdez finished to wrap up his 9th save.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Leo Garcia? The 20-year old shortstop Garcia stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put Thunder Bay up, 6-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Glad to go home with a win," said Garcia.

Thunder Bay has now won 5 games in a row.
