Ottawa Breaks Through for First Win in Division Series; Now Trails 3-1
The Ottawa Lynx have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Little Rock Golden Gophers, winning, 5-4, at Rivermen Ballpark. Lynx right-hander Carlos Balderrama threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Lynx to 3-1 in the best-of-7 Division Series.

With two out in the bottom of the seventh, Lyle Blakesley had a game-changing hit. The Lynx first baseman slammed a run-scoring double off Pedro Garza, making the score 5-2, Ottawa.

"Carlos had himself a pretty good evening," said Ottawa manager Nick Boyd.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Rivermen Ballpark in Ottawa.
