Halberdiers Pull Out Late Win, 9-8
Lazar Aleksic knocked in 4 runs to help Holland beat Celtic, 9-8. Aleksic produced 1 single and 1 home run. Holland pitcher Orlando Pininferino got the win. He's now 12-14. Juan Guzman was tagged with the loss. The 7th-place Halberdiers improved to 59-69.

The decisive blow was delivered by Saverio Savino in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old left-handed pitcher Juan Guzman to win the game for Holland. The home crowd went nuts.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Savino.
