In a dramatic ending the very potent Franklin Kites staged a comeback and held
on to win over the Duluth-Superior Dukes by the count of 4 to 3.
 
Franklin had the winning rally in the 9th inning plating 2 runs on 5 base
hits.  Jimmy Rollins led off and keyed the rally when he laced a base-knock.
Rollins was safe on a stolen base.  Geoff Blum then cleared the fences for a
two-run home run.  After an out was recorded, Ryan Hanigan came to the plate
and ripped a base-hit.  Neil Walker came up to bat and smacked a single.
Reed Johnson extended the rally and laced a single to load the bases.  Jay
Bruce came next and he grounded into a double play.  Franklin finished with
13 hits while Duluth-Superior ended up with 8.  
 
The winning pitcher was Alfredo Aceves(6-5) who allowed 2 runs in 2 and 1/3
innings. Joel Hanrahan got the save, his 31st.  Huston Street(0-5) was the
losing pitcher in relief.  
 
Chris Walsh was feeling mighty fine as he answered questions in his office
after the game, 'Now that was one fine ending! Did you see how the crowd just
sat there in silence after the winning run scored? Here we are celebrating
wildly, and the stadium is cloaked in virtual silence.  Weird. but GREAT!'

Kites Prove Too Much For Dukes. Verlander 19-1.

Chris Carpenter pitched 7 strong innings as the Duluth-Superior Dukes beat the
ice-cold Montreal Sunsets by a score of 1 to 0.
 
Montreal pitcher Kyle Davies(0-6) gave up the game's only run in the bottom of
the 3rd inning.  That scoring would be all that was needed.  Sean Marshall
pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 3rd save.  
 
Carpenter(10-10) was the winner allowing no runs in 7 innings. The
Duluth-Superior ballclub's record now stands at 66-56.  Montreal continued
their losing ways and their record is now 30-85, worst in the division.  They
are 0-10 in their last ten games.

Dukes Win. Stay In Wildcard Contention.
