Northmen Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Empires, 7-5
The Twin Cities Northmen picked up a win at Queens Field, downing the New York Empires, 7-5. On the mound for Twin Cities was right-hander Gerald Gross, who played a pivotal role in the win. New York is 14-15 after the defeat.

Twin Cities used a timely hit from 24-year old shortstop Jim Thorman to get the win. The shortstop delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Northmen on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was huge.

"Gerald was doing a good job pouring in strikes," said Twin Cities manager Jason Gudim.
