Storm Snatch Late-Game, 5-4 Win
Preston Strate was a major factor in the 5-4 Tampa Bay win over Minneapolis. The Storm first baseman was 2 for 4 with a double and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The save went to Antonio Barbieri, number 2 for him. The Blizzard, now 9-18, continue their slow start.

Had Frank Jimenez not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Jimenez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the Storm.

Tampa Bay manager Mike Khoury said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
