Black Bears Deal Armadillos 6-4 Defeat
The Thunder Bay Black Bears beat the Amarillo Armadillos by a score of 6-4. Thunder Bay center fielder Verdiano Cesti deserved the lion's share of the credit. Cesti went 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Black Bears. Thunder Bay is in first place in the RCL AAA Tony La Russa Division with a record of 84-56.

Thunder Bay used the timely hitting of Andy Bowers to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Black Bears on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I try to not think too much," said Bowers.
