Tigers Win, 10-8, in Extra Frames
The inspired effort of Toronto (GCL) shortstop Robbie Blankenbeckler was not enough to prevent a loss, 10-8, to the Detroit (GCL) Tigers. Blankenbeckler was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Detroit (GCL) is off to a hot start at 11-1.

Freddie Johnson came through for Detroit (GCL) when he hit a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th. With runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a 1-0 fastball to right-center field, staking his team to a 9-8 lead.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Johnson, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
