Columbia Wins, Askin goes 3-for-4
A good performance from right fielder Matt Askin helped the Columbia River Rats defeat the Alaskan Bush Pilots, 8-2. Askin went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the River Rats. Carlos Heath picked up the win, lifting his record to 8-7 on the season. He struck out 6 and walked 1 in 6.1 innings, while yielding 2 runs. The win boosted Columbia to 48-46.

The Bush Pilots had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the River Rats going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old center fielder Claude Prigent came to the plate. Prigent hit a solo home run on a first pitch fastball from Alaskan hurler Marko Tapaninen. It was Prigent's 11th home run of the year.

"It was a tough day, no getting around it," said losing manager Edward Whipp.
