No one was more impactful than Jim Young in the 8-5 Savannah win over Wichita. Young, who is tied for 2nd in the SL2 in triples with 7, belted 2 home runs. Savannah, at 58-53, is 11½ games up in the Sub League 2 West Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Rafael Farrand? The Savannah right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Alpines on top, 7-5. For the game, Farrand had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"They had a good approach," Wichita skipper Ross Meister said of the opposition. "Hats off to them."
