BOISE, ID- After officially being named as the Pioneer League Pitcher of the Month earlier in the day Tuesday, Alfredo Villa would fittingly take the mound in game 2 of a 3 game set opposite the Boise Hawks. Villa would pick up right where he left off in his outing holding the Hawks to just 1 run through 6 innings. Despite feeling a certain amount of comfort, Boise would never let the lead get out of hand. This allowed the Hawks to make one last push in the bottom of the 9th in an attempt to steal a win late.

Trailing by 3 heading into the bottom of the 9th, Boise would see their first 2 base runners reach to put Missoula in a strenuous position. Raymond Gil would make things even more interesting in the inning hitting a 2-run single to right field to cut Missoula's advantage to just 1 run. Later in the frame, Boise would have the tying, and winning run in scoring position at 2nd and 3rd base. Mark Simon would hold things off in the tight situation to earn his 11th save of the season striking out the final 2 batters he faced to preserve a 4-3 win.
