Blimps Win at Tacoma, 4-1
The Akron Blimps picked up a win at Ballpark of Tacoma, knocking off the Tacoma Fur Traders, 4-1. Starting pitcher Javier Merlo played a key role in the triumph. Merlo picked up the win for Akron, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 8-4. The second-place Blimps improved to 51-42.

Akron used the timely hitting of Bobby O'Kennedy to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Blimps on top, 2-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Merlo.
