Taylor Helps Wolverines Beat Sled Dogs, 11-3
The Riverside Wolverines pinned a convincing loss on the Juneau Sled Dogs, 11-3, at Sled Dogs Ballpark. Steve Taylor was a main factor in the win. He was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Riverside. Jason Thompson picked up the win with 6.2 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 8-1. The Wolverines have a one-game lead in the Southern Conference West Division.

A key moment came with two out in the top of the second. That's when Taylor hit a fastball from Adrian Leal for a 2-run single, putting Riverside up, 4-2.

"I still think this team can play even better," Taylor told the Riverside Herald.
