Sluggers Take Tight Tangle
Busch Stadium played host to some exciting baseball.

The St Louis Sluggers picked up a win at Busch Stadium, knocking off the Baltimore Wildcats, 5-4. Starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. was a big reason why. St Louis, at 62-64, holds down 4th place in the Federal Central Division.

St Louis got a knockout punch from Jeimer Candelario. The pinch hitter hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Candelario said in his postgame press conference.
