Lords Get Dramatic 6-5 Win
The Baltimore Lords had to overcome a big game from Detroit third baseman Duane Simmons to leave Seton Hill Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning, 6-5. Simmons went 2-3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The victory gives Baltimore a record of 39-29.

John Balliet was the walk-off hero for Baltimore. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Lords third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Balliet told the Baltimore Times.
