Twins Get Clutch Win, 5-4
The Minnesota Twins topped the New York Yankees, 5-4, in Virtual Baseball League action at Yankee Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Minnesota pitcher and Barberton, Ohio, native Andy Sonnanstine. The win belonged to Chris Reitsma in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Dave Coggin took the loss for New York. The win puts Minnesota at 5-5.

Minnesota used the timely hitting of Mike Lamb to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Twins on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Andy did a good job of managing their lineup," said Minnesota manager Jeremy Stout.
