Pipe Fitters Defeat Rats, 4-3
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Niagara Falls Pipe Fitters got the win.

The Niagara Falls Pipe Fitters beat the Rock River Rats, 4-3. Niagara Falls pitcher and Gilmore, Ohio, native Jason Murphy led the way. In 7 innings, Murphy surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. He allowed 3 runs.

The Rats had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Pipe Fitters going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old center fielder Sam Bridgman came to the plate. Bridgman hit a run-scoring triple on a full count fastball from Rock River hurler Jimmy Welch. It was Bridgman's 1st triple of the year.

"Sometimes, you can be too aggressive," said Rock River manager Shunso Sato. "You need to let the game come to you."

Rock River drops to 13-17.
