Santiago Stopped, 8-5, by Maine
Santiago left fielder Mike Santoli had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Santoli went 2 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2, even as Maine beat the Avispas, 8-5. Aaron Kopta picked up the win, lifting his record to 3-2 on the season. He struck out 3 and walked 1 in 5 innings, while yielding 2 runs. Maine has now won 3 straight, while the Avispas have lost 4 in a row.

Guo-feng Lei, who is tied for 7th in the EC in bases on balls with 26, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With two out and the bases loaded, the Maine first baseman hit a 2-run single. That put the Lobster in front, 4-2.

"Winning never gets dull," said Lei.
