Talons Net 6-3 Win Over Fog
Behind a fine performance from Alastair Owen, the Sheffield Talons knocked off the London Fog, 6-3. Owen went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 for the Talons. London is in the throes of a 9-game skid.

Sheffield used a well-timed hit by Graham Murphy to capture the win. The second baseman socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Talons ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"This losing is getting old," said London manager Tobías Angulo.
