Pilots Suffer 9-1 Road Loss
Starting Pitcher Victor Angel was lights out, as the Spokane Selects beat the Denver Pilots, 9-1. Spokane has won 3 straight, while Denver has lost 4 in a row.

The Pilots had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Selects going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old center fielder John Thaxton came to the plate. Thaxton hit a 2-run triple on a 1-2 sinker from Denver hurler Nate Holyfield. It was Thaxton's 4th triple of the year.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Angel. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
