Trash Pandas Earn Clutch Win, 6-5
The Rocket City Trash Pandas outlasted the Northwest Arkansas Naturals, 6-5, in 10 innings. Rocket City third baseman John Simpson stood out with his performance. He was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Logan Perkins earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 3-3. At 32-59, Rocket City is in last place in the Southern League Southeast Division.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the tenth, an error by the Naturals allowed the Trash Pandas to score the winning run.

"We earned that one," said Simpson.
