Pensacola starting pitcher Kieran Mattison made one real mistake through six innings and the bullpen didn't make any the rest of the way to lead the Pelicans to a 3-1 over Fort Worth. Mattison allowed one run, a solo home run to Cats RF Ryan Patterson, on three hits while striking out three in six innings of work to earn the win and improve to 5-3. Reliever Ron Hill took over in the seventh and fanned three in two perfect innings before handing the ball over to closer Hunter Davis. Davis then retired the side in order to record his 22nd save. Pensacola RF Kevin Reynolds led the way offensively. He was 3-for-4 with a run scored.

In addition to the homer and six batted in, Nelson added a double and scored twice to lead the offensive effort.

LF Jose Torres was 1-for-4 with two RBI to lead Shreveport-Bossier past El Paso by a run. The Captains scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take a 3-1 lead, but let that lead slip away by the seventh inning. Shreveport-Bossier regained the lead for good in the bottom of that frame thanks to a RBI single by 3B Andres Rodriguez. Rodriguez finished the game 2-for-3 with a run scored and a RBI. Captains reliever Matt Petty earned his fifth win while fellow reliever Jakob Cunningham notched his third save.

W: Mike Bille (2-6) L: Greg Krause (1-2) S: Kyle Foster (1)

HR: None

St. Paul and Grand Prairie stood even at 1-1 after eight innings, but then things got interesting in the ninth. The Saints plated two runs to take a 3-1 lead and then had to survive the bottom of the frame to escape with a 3-2 win. St. Paul starting pitcher Tom Buske allowed one unearned run on four hits while striking out two in 7 2/3 innings, but did not factor in the decision. Instead it was reliever Mike Bille who earned the win, his second of the season. Fellow reliever Kyle Foster came on to wiggle out of the ninth to earn his first save. With the win, the Saints improved to 22-21 and pulled to within three games of first place in the second half North Division standings.

Wichita 3, Lincoln 2 (12 innings)

@ Wichita, KS. Time: Attendance: 3:40 Attendance: 4,217

W: Justin Young (2-2) L: Forrest Cory (1-1) S: None

HR: None

Wichita starting pitcher Will Savage battled through nine innings, scattering 12 hits and allowing just one unearned run, but did not factor in the decision. It took the Wingnuts until the 12th inning to come away with the win, thanks to a wild pitch that allowed 3B Michael Thompson to score from third. Savage's counterpart, Lincoln starter Justin Knoff pitched well also, but he too did not factor in the decision. Instead it was Wichita reliever Justin Young that picked up the win, his second of the season. Thompson led the way at the plate, going 3-for-5 with a double, his 32nd of the season, and three runs scored, including the game winner.
