Thrashers Get Clutch Win, 5-4
The Haviland Thrashers defeated the Picture Rocks Raptors, 5-4. Doing his part was center fielder Paul Nicolopoulos, who was 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win went to Edwin Villagran in relief, making him now 8-0. Jim Unknown took the loss for Picture Rocks. Ben Cox earned save number 2 this season.

Had Nicolopoulos not come through in the bottom of the eighth, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Nicolopoulos hit a 2-run single. The Thrashers took the lead, 5-4, and never looked back.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Nicolopoulos.

Haviland now sits at 57-30, while Picture Rocks falls to 47-40.
