NOTES: Everyone in the Kaycee lineup reached base and all except Phil Roof had a safety. Phil sadly had a no contact day, four whiffs and a walk. Chuck Dobson is turning his season around with a fine August with a month record of 3-1 and a 2.25 ERA. Danny Cater has a six game hit streak. Even with missing virtually a month, Frank Robinson is within a realistic shot of hitting the century mark in RBIs.

STAR OF THE GAME: 3-5 Double 2 RBIs
