Colonels Lose, 8-6, in 10
The Whitby Bats and Tiverton Colonels needed extra innings at Field of the Colonels to determine a winner.

Led by Garrett Buckner, the Whitby Bats downed the Tiverton Colonels, 8-6, in 10 innings. Buckner went 3-5 with a home run, a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times for the Bats. Tyler Rotella picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-0. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 19-year old third baseman Randy Ruhl. Ruhl had a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bats ahead, 8-6. For the game, Ruhl had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Tiverton manager Chris Hartman.

The Colonels, at 35-42, have lost 4 straight games.
