River Rats Take Nail-Biter Over Yellows
The Columbia River Rats faced a tenacious opponent in Yucca Valley pitcher Mark Chandler, but still scratched out a win at Columbia Stadium by a final score of 4-2 in 10 innings. Chandler went 8.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Cheng-gong Mok claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. His record stands at 3-0. The second-place River Rats lifted their record to 41-31.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Curt Strickland in the bottom of the tenth. That's when he hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Luis Mojica to win it for Columbia and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

Strickland said afterward that he was "glad the fans were treated to a good ballgame."
