Killers Walk Off with 7-6 Win
The Crystal Lake Killers used the hitting of designated hitter Dane East to subdue the Buckeye Local Panthers, 7-6, in 11 innings. For the game, East was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Brian Kyzar snagged the win in relief. He goes to 2-0 on the season. Hiroshi Matsui suffered the loss. The first-place Killers now have a win-loss record of 54-31.

Crystal Lake got a clutch hit from Jon Blanco. The center fielder launched a solo home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"It took some doing, but we got what we came for," said Killers manager Steve Warzecha.
