Invaders Earn Late Win
Due in large part to first baseman Steve McKinstry, the Oakland Invaders sunk the Carolina Reapers, 8-7. McKinstry went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Oakland reliever Chris Brown got the win, raising his record to 1-2. Jake Schmitt was tagged with the loss. The Invaders now have a mark of 60-41.

Justin Dawson was the walk-off hero for Oakland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Invaders designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I'm proud to wear a Oakland jersey," McKinstry told the Oakland Observer. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
