Dread Kings Beat Mescalero, 5-4
Fans watched the Boise Dread Kings and the Mescalero Chiefs fight to the finish.

The Boise Dread Kings weathered an outstanding game by Mescalero shortstop Trent Lovoi to topple the Chiefs, 5-4. Lovoi went 2-4 with 2 home runs. Boise reliever Steve Wright picked up the win, raising his record to 6-2. Marc Stephan was tagged with the loss. Picking up the save was Mike Trivett, his 8th.

Boise used the timely hitting of Omari Baker to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Dread Kings ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Said Boise manager Sean Drummond: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."

The win elevated the Dread Kings to 41-35.
