W: Joel Kirsten (2-2) L: Colby Miller (1-5) S: None

HR: None

The bottom of the lineup did the trick for Fort Worth as it beat Shreveport 7-3. Fort Worth's six through nine hitters combined to go 9-for-17 with five RBI, led by LF Jordan Foster and C Adam Miller's 3-for-5 performances. 2B Kip Harkrider was a perfect 2-for-2 in the nine hole. The Cats jumped on the Sports for five runs in the sixth inning, giving them a 6-0 lead and all the margin they needed. Starting pitcher Joel Kirsten went a solid seven innings, allowing no earned runs and striking out five for the win.

Coastal Bend 10, Pensacola 5

@ Robstown, TX. Time: 2:50 Attendance: 2,172

W: JR Pickens (2-0) L: Colin Young (1-4) S: None

HR: CB - Brian Fryer (2)

Coastal Bend leadoff hitter CF Brian Fryer had been 0-for-4 when he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the eighth inning, but his subsequent grand slam more than made up for it in Coastal Bend's 10-5 victory. Fryar's blast extended a 6-5 lead to 10-5 and came after three singles from the bottom of Coastal Bend's order. Pensacola raced out to an early lead after scoring two runs in both the first and second innings, but Coastal Bend tied the game with four in the fourth. Two more runs in the sixth gave Coastal Bend the lead, and Fryer finished it off with his homer. 2B William Lewis smacked the ball around for Coastal Bend, going 3-for-4 with four RBI, including two each in the fourth and sixth.

Sioux Falls 5, St. Joe 3

@ Sioux Falls, SD. Time: 2:22 Attendance: 1,752

W: Kevin Cheppenko (2-2) L: Brian Buchanan (0-5) S: Jerrod Fuell (11)

HR: SF - Tim Marks (1)

St. Joe and Sioux Falls took the lead back-and-forth for six innings as Sioux Falls prevailed 5-3 after scoring twice in the bottom of the sixth. Sioux Falls closer Jerrod Fuell continued his lights-out routine, striking out two batters in a perfect ninth inning. Fuell leads the league with 11 saves, three ahead of the second-place finishers. Sioux Falls C Tim Marks' first home run of the season proved to be the clincher. His two-out, two-run homer in the sixth plated LF Ben Van Iderstine and gave Sioux Falls a lead they wouldn't give up. SS Casey Gordon was a spark at the top of the St. Joe lineup, going 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lincoln 7, St. Paul 2

@ St. Paul, MN. Time: 2:25 Attendance: 5,603

W: Jarrett Gardner (5-0) L: Adam Brandenburg (1-1) S: None

HR: LIN - Bryan Warner (3) STP - Brent Krause (3), Marcel Longmire (6)

Lincoln continued its winning ways thanks to the top of its lineup, beating St. Paul 7-2. The top three hitters drove in all seven of Lincoln's runs and combined to go 7-for-14 for the Saltdogs. RF Bryan Warner helped the cause with a two-run single in the sixth and two-run dinger in the ninth. St. Paul got solo shots from RF Brent Krause and C Marcel Longmire, but Lincoln starting pitcher Jarrett Gardner didn't allow much else, picking up his fifth win. With the victory, Lincoln improved its league-leading record to 24-7.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

El Paso 10, Sioux City 8

@ El Paso, TX. Time: 2:38 Attendance: 1,851

W: Andy Torres (4-0) L: Alexander Francisco (3-3) S: Ned Darley (9)

HR: ELP - Juan Camacho (5)

El Paso sent 13 batters to the dish and exploded for nine runs in the fourth inning to beat Sioux City 10-8. The nine runs in the inning was El Paso's highest-scoring inning all season, and was just enough to hold off Sioux City's rally. Not deterred by El Paso's outburst, Sioux City responded right away with three runs in the fifth inning and three more in the sixth. But El Paso's relief crew of Garvis Romero, Dustin Cameron and Ned Darley held Sioux City scoreless from there to keep El Paso atop the South Division standings.
