Herons Walk Off with 3-2 Win
The Hammond Herons topped the Nebraska Plainsmen, 3-2, in USSL Single A action at The Heron Refuge. The player of the game was Hammond pitcher Steve Gardner. The Plainsmen, now 34-52, have lost 5 straight.

Hammond won the game in the bottom of the 13th inning. That's when third baseman Jim Unknown hit a dramatic solo home run, bringing Herons fans to their feet.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Hammond manager Raúl Aguilar.
