Chesapeake Nets 9-8 Win Versus Lasers
Jamie Bender had a good game, but he could not keep the Nashville Lasers from falling, 9-8, to the Chesapeake Tailgators at Tailgators Ballpark. The Nashville designated hitter was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 in the loss. The win puts Chesapeake at 47-43 this season.

Mike Johnson was the walk-off hero for Chesapeake. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Tailgators center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Johnson told the Chesapeake News. "It's as simple as that."
