June 28, 2026 - Pearl, MS - The Lake Erie Crushers (20-25) were in the driver's seat, then heartbroken, then on top of the mountain in an asinine 13-10 victory over the Mississippi Mud Monsters (18-27) on Sunday. The trend all week has been that the team who scores first wins the game. The Crushers took that trend to heart by scoring twice in the opening frame. DH Samuel Benjamin muscled a jam-shot RBI single, then 3B Pavin Parks drove in a run on a groundout. Lake Erie led 2-0 and had a lead for their starting pitcher for the third time... Full Story
