25,688 fans were treated to a fine game at Dodger Stadium as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end.  The Green Bay Yoopers won by the
slimmest of margins, 7 to 6.
 
Both teams had scored 6 runs after nine full innings.  Finally, Green Bay
pulled the game out in the 11th inning.  Will Venable banged out a single.
Venable was safe at second on a stolen base.  Two outs later Brett Gardner
came up and he stroked a base-hit, and an error was also committed.  Green
Bay rapped out 13 hits for the afternoon.  
 
Brandon Lyon(1-0) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. James Russell
gained credit for his 1st save.  Darren Oliver(1-1) absorbed the loss in

earned run.

Anibal Sanchez struck out 10 batters at Dodger Stadium as the Duluth-Superior
Dukes beat the Chuckanut Bay Tubas by the count of 4 to 1.
 
Sanchez(5-1) put on a good performance.  He surrendered only 4 hits and 2
walks in 7 innings improving his ERA from 2.64 to 2.39.  Rafael Soriano was
perfect in the ninth giving him his 7th save on the season.  
 
Mat Latos(1-3) took the loss.  When asked about his strikeout total for the
game, Sanchez offered, 'The fan's really got into it.  It is fun to see them
tally up the strikeout totals up there in the stands.  Fortunately, I kept
them busy tonight - of course, it would be all for naught without the 'W'.'

Dukes Lose to the Tubas, 5-3.

In a good matchup it was the Chuckanut Bay Tubas 5, the Duluth-Superior Dukes
3 at Dodger Stadium.
 
Manny Corpas(2-1) contributed a very nice performance in relief.  He allowed
only 2 hits and 1 walk in 3 innings and chalked up 4 strikeouts dropping his
ERA from 4.11 to 3.44.  Both teams ended up with 7 hits on the night.
 
Dontrelle Willis recorded the save, his 1st.  David Pauley(0-1) ended up with
the loss in relief.  He was a hard-luck loser, pitching 2 innings and not
allowing an earned run.  
 
Dr. David Dick was just happy to get a win, 'We've had such a bad streak of
games -- boy, it's great to get the monkey off our back.  Now maybe we can
relax a little and play the kind of baseball of which we are capable.'
