Vikings Win Squeaker, 5-4, Over Athletics
Casey Marko was instrumental in his team's 5-4 triumph over the Kansas City Athletics. The center fielder was 4 for 5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Minneapolis Vikings. Minneapolis has now won 4 straight.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Marko hit a cutter from Kohsuke Yoshimoto for a run-scoring single. The Vikings, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This place was rocking at the end," Marko said.
