Marauders Topple Threshers with Late Rally
Clearwater wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Ben Perry, falling to the Bradenton Marauders, 2-1. Perry threw 7.2 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Bradenton reliever Ken Whitehead picked up the win, while Daniel Brunt took the loss for Clearwater. With the loss, Clearwater sinks to 11-14.

Johnny Durham was the walk-off hero for Bradenton. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Marauders shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Winning makes the heart grow fonder -- for more winning," said Durham, cracking a smile.
