Boise Stopped, 6-4, by Libertyville
Libertyville starter Nate Billesbach pitched well against the Boise Dread Kings at Field of the Polecats. The right-hander led his team to a win, 6-4. Libertyville pitcher Dave Leonetti earned the win, hiking his record to 2-3. Davey Swenson suffered the loss. Joe Lilley finished to wrap up his 5th save.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the bottom of the sixth. That's when Polecats right fielder Andre Howard hit a sinker from Davey Swenson for a 2-run single. Just like that, Libertyville was up, 3-2.

Libertyville manager Armando Cerda praised his team's "businesslike approach."

Libertyville has a record of 51-61, placing them third in the Eastern AA Northern Division.
