John Muller gave up a solo homerun in the top of the ninth and that proved to be the deciding run in Boise’s 5-4 loss to Salem-Keizer.  Alberto Alburquerque had a nice start and he gave up two runs on four hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in seven innings.

Jonathan Wyatt account for most of the scoring with a three run homer.  Dylan Johnston went four for five with two doubles, a triple and an RBI. 

Justin Berg was knocked around for ten runs (six earned) on six hits and four walks in just one inning in a 16-7 beatdown at the hands of Mobile.  Tim Layden was also hit hard and he gave up five runs (two earned) on five hits in two innings.  The four errors by the Smokies didn’t help things but this was an ugly game all the way around.

Jacob Fox was the hitting star in the game.  He went two for five with a three run homer.  Gary Cates also went yard with a two run shot.
