A good old fashioned pitchers duel thru seven as both George Brunet and Joe Coleman matched goose eggs. Top 8, Coleman got two quick outs before running out of gas surrendering the runs needed to give the visitors the victory. George Brunet allied just three baserunners (all singles) on the way to securing his first shutout of the season.
