Highlanders Best Hops in Pitching Duel
Asheville and Yakima duked it out at Asheville Park and the Highlanders came out victorious.

The Yakima Hops got a superb performance from pitcher Mal Houser, but the Highlanders still won the game, 2-1. Houser was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball. The last-place Highlanders now have a win-loss record of 39-58.

It could have been a different outcome for Asheville, had it not been for Andy Putman, the 22-year old catcher . Putman contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth inning to put Asheville up, 2-1.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Yakima manager Jamie Randall said following the tough loss.
