Invaders Pull Out Late-Game Win, 7-6
Oakland beat Carolina at Howard Terminal, escaping with a 7-6 win. The win in large part was due to right fielder Mike Raia. He went 3 for 3 with 3 singles and was hit by a pitch. The first-place Invaders have a one-game lead in their division.

Cesar Pereira played the role of hero for Oakland. In the bottom of the ninth, he launched a 2-run home run off Jake Schmitt to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was the decisive blow.

"Exhilarating win," said Raia.
