WEB GEMS- Top 2nd: Jordan Schafer robbed Kelly Shoppach of an extra base hit.
 
Clayton Kershaw came through with a solid 9 innings as the Tacoma Rainiers
outscored the Asbury Jukes 1 to 0.
 
Asbury surrendered what proved to be the only run of the contest when Tacoma
scored in the 5th inning.  Jeff Mathis drew a walk.  Jordan Schafer next to
the plate and he stroked a single.  Schafer was safe on a stolen base.
Kershaw was up next and he worked the squeeze play to perfection.  Asbury
made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the needed runs
across.  
 
For Kershaw(7-1) it was his 2nd shutout this year. The losing pitcher was Carl
Pavano(1-3).  Michael Swanson was very impressed with his pitcher, Kershaw,
'He had unusually good pitch placement tonight.  It was almost unfair - but a
beautiful game to watch from where I sat'

Bedard Shuts Out Jukes For 7 Innings.

First baseman David Ortiz hit 2 doubles and had 2 RBI as the Illinois Gamblers
defeated the Tacoma Rainiers by the score of 3 to 2 at SAFECO Field.
 
The deciding run was scored by Illinois in the 8th.  After an out was
recorded, Nyjer Morgan tripled.  Reed Johnson came next and he hit a
sacrifice fly.  Ortiz then doubled.  Josh Willingham was a strikeout victim,
unable to help out.  The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the
6th inning.  
 
Eric O'Flaherty(3-0) picked up the victory, allowing no runs in 1/3 of an
inning. Mariano Rivera preserved the game for O'Flaherty, recording his his
9th.  Brian Fuentes(1-1) absorbed the loss in relief.  
 
'Ahhh, that victory was surely needed.  Man alive, things were getting awfully
grim,' noted Matt Lamphear.  'Now, we need to string a bunch of wins together
and turn things around!'

Right fielder Jay Bruce had 2 base hits as the Williamstown Purple Cows
defeated the Tacoma Rainiers 2 to 0 at SAFECO Field.
 
Dustin Moseley(1-0) looked very much in control throughout the day.  He gave
up just 7 hits and 1 walk in 8 and 2/3 innings.  Tacoma had a chance to come
back in the 9th but they came up short.  
 
Moseley was helped out by Jonathan Papelbon who recorded his 7th save.  Ian
Kennedy(5-1) was tagged with the loss.  'We didn't get the key hits when we
needed them' Michael Swanson said. 'We did what we could, we just didn't pull
out the win. What can you say?'

Nelson Cruz lofted one into the 'cheap seats' at SAFECO Field as the Canyon
Diablo Critters beat the Tacoma Rainiers by the count of 4 to 3.
 
The deciding run was scored by Canyon Diablo in the 8th.  After an out was
recorded, Jose Bautista laced a base-hit.  Prince Fielder stepped up to the
plate and he doubled.  After another out, Josh Hamilton came to bat and was
walked intentionally.  Canyon Diablo had 10 hits for the game and Tacoma had
6.  
 
The win went to Alfredo Aceves(1-0) who allowed no runs in 2 innings. Daniel
Bard earned his 1st save.  Kameron Loe(0-1) absorbed the loss in relief.  He
surrendered 1 run and 3 hits in 1 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'It felt really nice to get this win,' Aceves said. 'I kind of dictated the
game. It's what I get paid to do. It worked out this time.'
