Four Pensacola first-inning runs set an early tone, then the Pelicans scored five straight runs after El Paso tied the game and won 9-4. El Paso CF Kory Drew cranked a grand slam in the top of the third inning to even the score at 4-4, but Pensacola responded immediately with two runs in the bottom of the inning and two more in the fourth. El Paso wouldn't score any more as Pensacola starting pitcher Noel Baca went five innings, giving up the grand slam but striking out seven.

@ Sioux City, IA. Time: 3:05 Attendance: 1,687

W: Greg Bicknell (2-2) L: Mike Nunes (0-1) S: None

St. Joe starter Greg Bicknell found himself with a 5-0 deficit after only two innings at Sioux City. He didn't panic, and neither did his team, as they responded with 11 unanswered runs to top the Explorers. Bicknell ended up going the distance, allowing no runs after the second inning, and striking out seven. His offense picked him up in a big way. The Blacksnakes scored five runs in the fifth to tie the game, and then didn't stop. They added four in the sixth and two more in the ninth for 11 runs on 14 hits. SS Casey Gordon and 2B Terry Robles did the damage with four RBI apiece and a double each.

Coastal Bend 6, Fort Worth 3

@ Fort Worth, TX. Time: 2:23 Attendance: 3,435

W: Kevin Hull (6-5) L: Nick Martin (4-5) S: Thomas Atlee (12)

HR: CB - Matt Spencer (2)

Bottom-of-the-order production and a four-run sixth inning did the trick for Coastal Bend in its 6-3 win against Fort Worth. Coastal Bend's 6-7-8-9 hitters drove in all six of the team's runs, partly thanks to a two-run homer by DH Matt Spencer. The Aviators trailed 3-2 heading into the sixth, but found themselves in control after emerging from the inning with a 6-3 lead. Three solid and scoreless innings from the Coastal Bend bullpen allowed them to hang on and give starter Kevin Hull his sixth win.
