Brooklyn Cyclones (48-40) 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 4 6 0
Thunder Bay Lighting (54-34) 1 0 1 1 1 4 0 0 X 8 10 0
Lighting Beat Cyclones, 8-4
Thunder Bay left fielder Danny Romero played a vital role in his team's 8-4 conquest of Brooklyn. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times for Thunder Bay. The Lighting, at 54-34, sit in third place in the RCL R John Mayberry Division.

The Cyclones had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Lighting going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old shortstop Francisco Cabrera came to the plate. Cabrera hit a bases-clearing triple on a 3-1 curveball from Brooklyn hurler Maxence Campanaro. It was Cabrera's 3rd triple of the year.

"We're producers not directors," said Romero. "Produce a good swing. Can't direct where it goes."
