Beasties Pull Off Thrilling Win in Extras
The Beasties had to overcome a fine effort from Columbus pitcher Osvaldo Fernandez to grab a narrow 6-4 win at Mules Ballpark. Fernandez went 8 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. Dan Serafini picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 10-1. John Wetteland was tagged with the loss. The 5th-place Beasties have won 4 in a row.

One of the biggest contributors for Bluff City was third baseman Tom Evans. In the top of the 12th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Evans got a first pitch sinker and hit a run-scoring single. That put the Beasties on top, 5-4.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Bluff City manager .
