Dread Kings Win at Traverse City, 8-5
Max Benitez did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Traverse City Bears from being beaten, 8-5, to the Boise Dread Kings at Greensboro Grounds. Benitez was 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs. Alex Avila, the winning pitcher, improved to 8-7. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 10 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 3. John Shannon closed it out for Boise, earning his 3rd save.

With no one out in the top of the fourth, John Fitz put Boise in front, 4-2, with a 2-run single. The Dread Kings went on to win the ballgame.

Fitz said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."

The 'W' lifts Boise's record to 77-54.
