Z's Topple Fighting Quakers with Late Rally
With left fielder Paul Watson leading the charge, the Ann Arbor Z's defeated the Quebec Fighting Quakers, 8-4, at Knights Ballpark. Watson, who is rated as the 10th best prospect by BNN, hit 2 home runs. Ann Arbor reliever Jason Washington picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. C.J. Kiefer took the loss. The 5th-place Z's go to 50-83.

Michael Williams played the role of hero for Ann Arbor. In the bottom of the ninth, he launched a grand slam home run off C.J. Kiefer to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was the decisive blow.

Ann Arbor manager Bryan Gallegos commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
