Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Fog
Derby first baseman Armando Mercado had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Mercado was 2 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once, even as London beat the Rams, 6-5. London starter Lewis Duff was credited with the win after throwing 145 pitches over 9 innings. His record now stands at 9-22. The Fog, at 19-78, sit in last place in the All-Team Circuit English Baseball Championship.

Patty Dunne had a clutch hit in the top of the eighth inning. With two men out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the London first baseman hit a 2-run single. That put the Fog in the lead, 6-5.

"We'll just keep our nose to the grindstone," Dunne told the London Daily News.
