Felix Hernandez retired 12 batters on strikeouts at SAFECO Field as the
Superior Blues won a thriller over the Latrobe Steel in, 2 to 1.
 
The deciding run was scored by Superior in the bottom of the 9th.  Justin
Upton lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' making Superior the victor and beginning
a joyous home town celebration.  Latrobe out-hit Superior 7 to 3, but
Superior ended up with more runs.  
 
The victory went to Scott Downs(3-4) who went 1/3 of an inning, allowing no
runs. The loss was charged to Ryan Mattheus(0-1) in relief.  He was unable to
retire a batter and surrendered 1 hit and no walks.
