The Superior Blues nipped the Boston Tea Party 5 to 4 at SAFECO Field in a
hard fought contest.
 
Boston was unable to recover after Superior went ahead in the 6th inning as
they scored 2 runs on 2 base hits.  The critical plate appearance was by Ryan
Roberts who made the Superior fans a happy lot when he lined a one-base hit
bringing home two baserunners.  Superior had just 5 hits for the afternoon.
 
The winning pitcher was Kameron Loe(1-1) who allowed no runs in 1 inning.
Andrew Bailey recorded his 4th save.  Travis Wood(0-5) ended up with the
loss.  
 
Wth the win Superior now has a record of 18-14.  Steve Chandler was pretty
down after the loss.  'We've really been sputtering along lately, something
like 0-10 in the last week or two.  That won't get it done.'
