London catcher Pinky Hargrave was sensational. He slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice, but it wasn't enough to rally his team to a win. Erie beat the Werewolves, 12-11. With the win, Erie raised its record to 29-22.

The game ended with a bang. In the bottom of the ninth, with Erie trailing 11-9, Bill Spiers jumped on a first pitch fastball from Oliver Drake for a 3-run home run, sending the Blackbirds to a walk-off win.

"What a game," said Spiers. "We needed every last run."
