With their playoff lives on the line the Spinners needed a huge win against division rival Brewers. The Spinners would start off shakey making 4 OF errors(OUCH!)in the first few innings allowing 2 runs. Luckily the Spinners offense was able to put together a few good innings scoring 4 runs. Kevin Brennan pitched another outstanding game allowing no ER's, striking out 7 and walking 1. As usual Omar Caceras and Mikey Mori played a great middle infield turning multiple double plays and keeping the Brewers from scoring. Danny Caceras, Rick Salvia and Rick Scalzo each had doubles which would lead to Spinner scoring opportunities. With this win the Spinners put themselves in a great spot to make the playoffs!

Also going 3-4 was Mike Mori who led the team with 4 rbis and 2 SBs and Greg Megerdician who also had a multi-hit game. Great defensive game by 1st basemen Eric Rochon who looked like he should be working for Ben and Jerrys the way he was scooping balls out the dirt. Brewers notables include Phil Meador going 2-4, 1RBI and the Brewers as a whole had 5 SB's in the game which puts them way above any other MABL team in that category.

Standouts for Cutters included AJ Bucciarelli who went 3 for 4 and pitcher Ken Kilduff who pitched 6 scoreless innings.
