DORCHESTER, MA... In the last regular season game for the Knights and the division on the line they sent veteran Kenny Luongo to the bump in hopes of winning their second consecutive Yaz division championship. Kenny Luongo did not disappoint going the distance and holding the Nationals to no hits through 6 and 2/3 innings. With 2 outs Dave Silletti served one up to the opposite field over 3rd basemen Kenny Polancos head for the first hit of the day for the Nats. Luongo would then retire the next batter for the complete game one hitter. That victory put the Knights in first place for the time being as they would have to scoreboard watch in hopes that the A's would beat the Saints for the Knights to clinch the 4 seed. The A's defeated the Saints 6 - 0 and the Knights win the division!! The Knights pounded out 13 hits on the day capped by a Brian Maynard moonshot homerun. Wilson Mercado was 3-3 on the day.

Nearly 3 weeks and 10 games later, the Dodgers are back in the W column. After a gallon of Moosehead and freebasing some poutine, the "Mad Canadian" Huber throws 7 innings yielding only 2 unearned runs and 5 hits, highlighted by snaring a line drive in the 7th and doubling a runner off of 1st. Offensively, the Dodgers got 3 hits and 1 rbi apiece from Bobby "Big" Footie and Jerrad "Garbage Time" Ryan. More impressively, Manager Patty McGrath wakes up his inner Ichiro and chips in another 2-hit game to bolster his average to .556 on the year. Where was this a month ago? Andrew Cahill puts it all together, keeping a mean scorebook.

Like the mosquitoes of Canton, the Braves refused to quit on this muggy Monday night. They came from behind twice, including a 3-run rally in the 7th, to defeat the Nationals 4-2. This makes 3 in a row, as the Braves climb back up to .500. Teddy Ballgame drove in 2 runs, giving the Braves a 2-out game-tying single in the 2nd, and an insurance run in the 7th. Trailing 2-1 in the 7th with 1 out, Lee reached on a 15-foot squibber, then got to second on a wild pitch. He then scored the tying run when Robb laced a single to right, extending his hitting streak to 9 games. Shortly thereafter, for the 2nd straight game, Rainville "drove" in the eventual winning run via BB. In the Chuck Good Department, Greeley went the distance, striking out 7, for his 3rd win (3-0). Bernstein pitched very well for the Nationals.

Lone bright spot for the Dodgers was Jacques Shatto going yabbo for Boston's 2 runs.
