| Death Stars Score Late to Upend Racers, 6-5 | Bowling Green got a terrific game from designated hitter Terry Merritt. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Detroit, 6-5. Merritt was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Ben Bower earned save number 26. Bowling Green, at 57-71, has lost 9 straight.
Had Shigeaki Yoshida not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Yoshida hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Death Stars.
"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Yoshida.
