Prairie Thunder Trip Z's, 8-4
Randolph right-hander Simon Scales pitched his team to victory over the Ann Arbor Z's at Knights Ballpark. The final score was 8-4. Scales picked up the win for Randolph, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 9-8. Ann Arbor has now lost 4 consecutive games.

The Z's had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Prairie Thunder going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old center fielder Gabe Howard came to the plate. Howard hit a solo home run on a full count curveball from Ann Arbor hurler Pedro Benitez. It was Howard's 11th home run of the year.

"It's so much easier when you throw good pitches," said Scales.
