Blitzkrieg Drop Red Pandas, 3-2
Esko Haapakoski, who is tied for 6th in the SAAA with a 8.3 K/9 rate, had a strong outing for the Port Huron Blitzkrieg against the Sioux Falls Red Pandas at The Bamboo Forest. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 3-2 win. Haapakoski, the winner, moves to 6-10. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 10 and giving up 2 walks. The win puts Port Huron at 41-60.

Port Huron used a clutch at-bat from Dustin Tate to capture the win. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Blitzkrieg ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Esko did a good job keeping the game under control," said Port Huron manager Mike Nyberg.
