Dread Kings Win 8-5 Walk-Off
The Boise Dread Kings defeated the Mesa Razor Sharks by the score of 8-5, with the biggest share of the credit going to third baseman Joe Cross. Cross was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Dread Kings on the day. Danny Heasley was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Josh Buxton. The loss makes Mesa 42-46.

Steve Gottlieb played the role of hero for Boise. In the bottom of the ninth, he launched a 3-run home run off Josh Buxton to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was the decisive blow.

"Sometimes you get the ball in the right spot and it goes," said Gottlieb.
