LINCOLN -- Mike Burns was outstanding on the hill and Daniel Carroll carried the club at the plate as the Saltdogs (19-14) edged the Sioux City Explorers (14-18) 2-1 in front of 3,091 fans at Haymarket Park Wednesday night.
Burns (2-1) pitched eight innings, allowing just one run on six hits while striking out six and walking one to earn the victory.

R.J. Rodriguez worked a perfect ninth to notch his league-leading 12th save of the campaign.
Jason Jarvis (4-3) pitched eight innings, allowing two runs on five hits to take the loss, his second complete-game loss against the 'Dogs this year.
Stephen Douglas went 2-for-4 in his return to the lineup after missing the previous two games with a hamstring ailment.
