ANN ARBOR Z'S AT DENVER PILOTS
GAME ID: 9127 - SUNDAY, AUGUST 14TH , 2022 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Ann Arbor Z's (52-62) 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 3 8 0
Denver Pilots (59-55) 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 X 4 7 0
Pilots Capture Close Win
The Denver Pilots did just enough to sneak past the Ann Arbor Z's, 4-3, at Pilots Ballpark. Denver pitcher Nick Kline, in particular, had a standout performance. The Pilots are now 59-55, while the Z's fall to 52-62.

Had Jim Franz not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Franz hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Pilots.

"Both teams played hard," said Denver manager Adrian Collins.
