Northern Lions BC Sneak Past Whalers, 3-2
The Thunder Bay Northern Lions BC picked up a win at Great Northern Field, knocking off the Hartford Whalers, 3-2. Starting pitcher Rafael Cardona, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. The win pushes Thunder Bay to a record of 3-1.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th. That's when Thunder Bay designated hitter David Smith, facing Andrew Webster, had a run-scoring double. It gave the Northern Lions BC the 3-2 win.

"This was one of those 'not to be denied' games," said Thunder Bay field general Scott Williams.
