Divided Sneak Past Thundercats, 8-7
In a tight contest at Washington Stadium, the D.C. Divided edged the Richardson City Thundercats by the score of 8-7. The D.C. Divided's third baseman Ray Sears, who blasted 2 home runs, was named the player of the game. Nathaniel Riley got credit for the win, improving to 3-5. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. D.C., at 49-37, sits in third place in the Division I.

The clutch at-bat in the bottom of the ninth belonged to Sears. Facing Dave Reed with the bases empty, the D.C. third baseman had a solo home run. Game over, walk-off style!

"This wasn't a good win," said Sears. "It was a great win."
