Z's Absorb 7-1 Home Loss
Orono pitcher Colin Esser did his part in helping his team defeat the Ann Arbor Z's, 7-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. The save was credited to Nick Calvache, his 1st. The Z's, now 9-16, continue their inauspicious start.

Orono used the hitting of Ian Cason to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the third inning to put the Oaks on top, 2-1. For the game, Cason had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Esser said his team "played with determination."
