Lions Get Clutch 5-4 Win
The Detroit Lions picked up a win at Ford Field, taking down the New Orleans Saints, 5-4, in 10 innings. On the mound for Detroit was left-hander Todd Arrington. He played a central role in the triumph. The loss makes New Orleans 20-17.

The decisive blow was delivered by Zhang-sung Li in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Mel Romero to win the game for Detroit. The home crowd went nuts.

"This house was rockin'," Li said.
