St. Louis Drops Orlando, 5-4
The St. Louis Terriers defeated the Orlando Oracles, 5-4, at The Omnipotent Palace today. Leading the charge for St. Louis was second baseman Santiago Sosa. He was 3-4 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Mike Whitehead, the winner, goes to 7-8. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits, with 4 walks and 7 strikeouts over 6 innings. The save went to Terry Brown, his 5th this season.

Sosa had a game-changing home run in the top of the sixth. On a first pitch curveball from Nathan Coleman, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Terriers a 2-0 lead. It was the 20th home run of the year for Sosa.

"I'm not out there for personal accomplishments," Sosa told a St. Louis Gazette reporter after the game. "I'm out there to help the team win, and that's what we did today."

With the win, St. Louis goes to 45-43, while the Oracles fall to 31-57.
