Emancipation Clipped, 5-2
The Grand Rapids Rafters beat the Lincoln Emancipation by a score of 5-2. Grand Rapids second baseman Pedro Esparza deserved the lion's share of the credit. Esparza went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Rafters. Grand Rapids reliever Orlando López got the win, raising his record to 3-3. Luca Whiteway was tagged with the loss. After today's action, Grand Rapids sits at 69-57, while Lincoln falls to 60-66.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Esparza hit a knuckle curve from Luca Whiteway for a 3-run home run. The Rafters, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Winning is the only objective," said Esparza after the game.
