Cuban Giants Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Red Sox, 5-3
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Miami Cuban Giants and Memphis Red Sox.

The Miami Cuban Giants had to overcome a fine effort from Memphis pitcher Dean Chance to win, 5-3, at Fenway Park. Chance went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs. The winner was Miami reliever Lefty George, now 1-0. The loser was Tommy de la Cruz. Ricky Nolasco earned the save, his 20th in 23 tries.

Gary Sheffield delivered a big hit for Miami. The third baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cuban Giants ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was a beauty.

"We were the better team," crowed Sheffield.

The Cuban Giants improved their record to 65-67 by beating Memphis.
