Mike Medley pitched a gem to lead Ann Arbor to victory over the Denver Pilots, 5-0. Medley, now 1-3, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 8, walking 1, and allowing no runs. The Z's raised their record to 13-19.

Paul Watson had a big bases-clearing triple for the Z's in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Ann Arbor leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 31-year old left-handed pitcher Johnny Keener and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Z's ahead, 4-0.

"Mike was hitting his spots and everything had life," said Ann Arbor manager Bryan Gallegos.
