The Love Boats had to overcome a fine effort from Springfield pitcher Zhi-qiang Ku to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Springfield Stadium. Ku went 6 innings and allowed no earned runs. Reliever Sean Jones picked up the win. His record improves to 1-1. Morton Huffman took the loss. Tsugahara Ota earned his 1st save in 2 tries.

Lake Minnetonka used the timely hitting of Jesús Espinoza to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Love Boats on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Both teams played hard," said Lake Minnetonka manager Burton Storey.

The Shooters, now 14-15, have lost 6 straight.
