Tucson, AZ - The Portland Beavers scored one run in the top of the 8th inning and pitched a combined shutout to beat the Sidewinders 1-0 in front of 5,454 fans on Saturday night. RHP Micah Owings, on a Major League rehab assignment, pitched five shutout innings but received a no-decision after leaving with the game tied 0-0. Owings gave up four hits and struck out seven while walking one. He threw 90 pitches, 56 for strikes. He was also 1-for-2 with a line drive single to right and a strikeout.

LHP Randy Choate replaced Schultz with two outs to face the left-handed 1B Paul McAnulty. With a 1-0 count, McAnulty hit a slow ground ball up the middle.
