Vipers Collect 8-5 Win Over Empire
Vipers Park did not lack for drama.

The Detroit Vipers had to overcome a big game from New York first baseman Brandon Buchanan to leave Vipers Park with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-5, in 10 innings. Buchanan went 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Detroit pitcher Gabe Stanger earned the win, hiking his record to 6-5. Manny Grijalva suffered the loss.

Detroit got a knockout punch from Chris Lightfoot. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

In postgame comments, Lightfoot said he was glad to contribute to an exciting win.

The win for the Vipers lifted their record to 54-48.
