Vipers Win with Late Heroics
The Texas Vipers needed 10 innings to defeat the Chicago Explorers, 6-5, at Pepsi Dome. Texas first baseman Bryce Harper had a superb performance. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The victory puts Texas at 34-49.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Texas right fielder Joey Loperfido, facing Yuki Matsui, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Vipers the 6-5 win.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Loperfido said.
