Z's Defeat Pilots, 8-5
Jim Ells led Ann Arbor to a win over Denver. The final score was 8-5. The second baseman had a huge performance. He whacked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Pedro Benitez earned the win for Ann Arbor. He lasted 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 5. With the win, he raised his record to 4-10. With the win, the Z's have a record of 52-60.

The Pilots had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Z's going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old left fielder Jeff Wise came to the plate. Wise hit a 2-run double on a 1-2 fastball from Denver hurler Derrick Espinosa. It was Wise's 25th double of the year.

"We came out aggressive," said Z's manager Bryan Gallegos. "We came out swinging the bats."
