The Columbus Bowsers defeated the Lake Elsinore Storm by the score of 14-7. Josh Engelke starred for Columbus, going 2-for-4 with 1 home run. The Bowsers have a winning streak of 4 games.

Columbus used a timely hit from Soini Huhtinen to get the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bowsers ahead, 8-6. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Bobby Vargas told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
