Thunder Wolves Earn Win with Late Rally
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Tacoma Thunder Wolves got the win.

Riding the 3-hit performance of the 21-year old center fielder John Yarbrough, the Tacoma Thunder Wolves stopped the Greensboro Naturals, 3-2, in 11 innings. Tacoma reliever Jim Unknown was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Jim Unknown.

Tacoma needed the clutch hitting of Jesse Griffin to notch the win. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Thunder Wolves on top, 3-2. For the game, Griffin had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"That's baseball," said Greensboro manager Nick Kendrick. "Sometimes the other team plays better than yours."

The third-place Thunder Wolves are 53-71.
