Heroes Score Late to Nip Lumberjacks, 8-7
The Bangor Lumberjacks could not turn a fine performance from designated hitter Steve Benitez into a win. Instead, the Pueblo Heroes prevailed, 8-7. Benitez went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Pueblo reliever Juan Guerrero picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Jonathan Kellerstrass absorbed the loss. Nick Ashworth finished to wrap up his 23rd save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for T.J. Cray? The Pueblo first baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Heroes on top, 8-7. For the game, Cray had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Enjoyed this one," Cray told the Pueblo Chronicle. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

With the win over Bangor, the Heroes improved to 93-44.
