Whalers Lose to Northern Lions BC, 10-6
Thunder Bay beat Hartford, 10-6. The win in part was due to catcher Adrian Smith, who nabbed player of the game honors. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Rafael Cardona picked up the win with 6.1 innings of work. He allowed 5 earned runs on 7 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 3-1. The 4th-place Northern Lions BC raised their record to 14-11.

It could have been a different outcome for Thunder Bay, had it not been for Raúl Valadez, the 30-year old third baseman . Valadez contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the second inning to put Thunder Bay up, 3-2.

"Nothing is scripted in this game," said Smith.
