Tacoma Beats Minnesota, 8-7
Tim Lehman added some punch to the Tacoma offense, helping them outmuscle the Minnesota Loons, 8-7. In the game, Lehman went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Tacoma reliever Curt Walker, now 1-1. The loser was Domingo Velasco. Ángel Ruíz closed the door for Tacoma, picking up his 5th save of the year.

The most critical at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With two out, Michael Whorton hit a full count fastball from Domingo Velasco for a run-scoring single. It put Tacoma in front, 8-7.

In postgame comments, Whorton told the Tacoma Herald: "Do people still doubt I give 100%?"

The Fur Traders saw their record improve to 13-11.
