Juneau Dispatched, 8-5, by Haviland
Haviland registered a win at Ballpark of Haviland by beating the Juneau Sled Dogs, 8-5. Pitcher Rafael Cruz was one reason why the Thrashers triumphed. Cruz yielded 1 run over 7.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 9. His record improves to 10-7. Juneau now owns a losing streak of 6 games.

Jose Jimenez had a big run-scoring double for the Thrashers in the bottom of the third inning. With Haviland leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Tyler Murphy and swatted a double to left. It was his 2nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Thrashers ahead, 2-0.

"Rafael made some big pitches when he needed to," said Thrashers manager Bill Mason.
