Guerrero Excels, But Lumberjacks Win
The Bangor Lumberjacks withstood a fine game by Kalamazoo center fielder Matt Guerrero at Wizards Stadium, to upend the Comets, 11-9. Guerrero was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Jamie Knudson picked up the win, improving his season record to 2-3. He struck out 3 in 5.1 innings. Bangor is now 26-23, Kalamazoo 20-29.

John Jimenez had a big grand slam home run for the Lumberjacks in the top of the eighth inning. With Bangor leading 6-3 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old left-handed pitcher Jason Eppert and punished it. The result was his 14th home run of the season, which put the Lumberjacks on top, 10-3.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Bangor manager Shawn Banks.
