Marlins Fight for 8-7 Win
The Miami (GCL) Marlins downed the Washington (GCL) Nationals, 8-7, in 12 innings. Dan McKnight led the way, going 1-for-1 for Miami (GCL). Miami (GCL) reliever Jody Watkins snagged the win, upping his record to 4-1. Álex Espinal shouldered the loss. Miami (GCL) goes to 44-16. The win puts them 10½ games up in their division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Thad Dundee? The Miami (GCL) second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the 12th inning to put the Marlins on top, 7-6. For the game, Dundee had 1 double and 2 singles in 7 at-bats.

"We found a way to get it done," McKnight said.
