Thrilling Victory Pushes Black Bears Win Streak to 6
The Thunder Bay Black Bears spoiled a good performance by Joplin shortstop Brian Cranston, bumping off Joplin, 9-7, at The Firepit. Cranston was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Bobby Boeckner collected his 4th save. Thunder Bay has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Thunder Bay used the clutch hitting of Roberto Santamaria to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to give the Black Bears the lead, 7-6. For the game, Santamaria had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"I like the roll we're on," said Thunder Bay manager Qi-chang Ec.
