Hoboken's Travis Buck came up a homer shy of hitting for the cycle in the Cutters' 7-5 win over Carolina. Buck hit the triple in the first inning, but grounded out and flied out in the next two at bats, before deciding to make things interesting. The Cutters staged a nice comeback, scoring 6 runs in the final three innings to rebound from a 5-1 deficit. The Cats lost their 5th straight as the Cutters leapfrogged them to move into 10th place overall.
Meanwhile, Vancouver pounded the snot out of Team Buddah, 19-2. Moises Alou was 2-3 with 5 RBIs, and Maicer Izturis(!) was 4-6 with 4 RBIs. The game was a reasonable 6-1 until the Fist exploded for 13 runs in the 7th and 8th innings. Zack Greinke (14-1) was extremely thankful for the run support.
Philadelphia won a tight 6-5 victory over Las Vegas. A 6-run 4th inning put the Animals in charge for the rest of the game. In fact, all 6 runs in that inning scored off home runs, two solo shots and two 2-run homers. It was a rare one-run loss for the Rat Pack, who is 24-7 on the season in one-run games.
Tampa Bay pulled to within a 1/2 game of idle Hillsborough with their 6th straight win. Pat Burrell and Jack Wilson were both 2-4 with 2 RBIs each to lead the Plunkers to a 9-7 win over the Bombers. Lee Gardner picked up his league-leading 24th save.
