At Dodger Stadium, the Duluth-Superior faithful were treated to an intriguing
pitcher's duel.  Josh Johnson(6-1) finally bested his Duluth-Superior
counterpart, Jason Vargas(5-5), by the score of 1 to 0.
 
The winning run, and the only run, was scored by Diamond in the top of the 2nd
inning.  That early scoring was all that Johnson needed.  Duluth-Superior
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.  
 
Johnson got relief help from Brian Wilson who gained credit for his 10th save.
Vargas ended up with the loss.  He allowed just 1 hit and 3 walks in 7 and
1/3 innings.  
 
'We lose our concentration for one pitch, and we lose the game.' Mike Swanson
said after the game.  'Maybe now these guys will listen when I say they have
to concentrate on EVERY pitch.'

Dukes Win In Extras.

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Delmon Young robbed Chris Young of an extra base hit.
 
Homer Bailey whitewashed Duluth-Superior on 3 hits and second baseman Jeff
Keppinger hit 2 doubles and had 3 RBI as the Andover Cougars defeated the
Duluth-Superior Dukes 4 to 0 at Dodger Stadium.
 
Bailey(3-2) was tremendous on the mound for Andover.  He gave up just 3 hits
and 2 walks in 9 innings dropping his ERA from 4.42 to 3.59.  Andover had a
total of 7 hits for the game.  
 
Jason Vargas(5-4) took the loss.  He pitched 7 and 1/3 innings giving up 7
hits and 1 walk. Mike Swanson was obviously impressed with the pitching of
Bailey, 'That guy made us look a little silly out there tonight.  We just
couldn't get to him at all - everything was working for him.  I just hope
that he got that kinda performance out of his system.'

Chris Carpenter allowed 1 hit while blanking Portland as the Duluth-Superior
Dukes defeated the Portland Beavers by a score of 2 to 0 at Dodger
Stadium.
 
Carpenter(4-7) was simply too much for the Portland batters.  He allowed just
1 hit and 1 walk in 9 innings.  Carpenter chalked up 10 strikeouts dropping
his ERA from 4.19 to 3.73.  Neither team managed to score after the 1st
inning.  
 
Francisco Liriano(4-4) was the losing pitcher.  Carpenter was pleased with his
performance.  He noted, 'I had good zip on my pitches.  Just as important, my
location was right on.  The fans really got into the game too - that always
helps me.  Now, if I can only do that again in my next outing.'
