Explorers Topple Sharks with Late Rally
Chicago first baseman Will D. Smith picked up 4 ribbies while helping his team beat back the New York Sharks, 10-9. The Explorers raised their record to 13-6.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Smith hit a slider from Gregory Santos for a run-scoring double. The Explorers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Smith said.
