Z's Rally Late to Clip Orono
The Ann Arbor Z's and Orono Oaks put on quite a show.

The Ann Arbor Z's downed the Orono Oaks, 9-8, in 14 innings at University of Maine Stadium. The Z's were led by Nick Rucker. Rucker was 4 for 6 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Z's now have a mark of 48-76.

Ann Arbor used the timely hitting of Jamie Halliday to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 14th inning to put the Z's on top, 9-8. It was his only hit in 7 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Z's manager Bryan Gallegos. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
