Selects Snatch Late Win
Spokane shortstop Mel Hernandez was instrumental in helping the Selects triumph, 8-6, over the Ann Arbor Z's. Hernandez was 1-3 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Spokane pitcher Kyle Schroeder got the win. He's now 1-0. Jason Washington was tagged with the loss. The save went to Tyler Doss, his 4th this season.

Spokane took advantage of an error in the top of the ninth inning. The game was tied, 4-4, when Nick Raiff hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Selects in front, 5-4.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Raiff.

The loss drops the Z's to 3-7.
