Pilots Roll Over Z's, 11-4
Knights Ballpark was the site for Stripes Conference action featuring the Ann Arbor Z's and Denver Pilots.

The Denver Pilots downed the Ann Arbor Z's, 11-4. The hitting star was second baseman John Anderson. Anderson was 3 for 5 with a triple and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Pilots. The winner was Chris Marquis, who threw 88 pitches over 6 innings. The left-hander was charged with 4 runs on 11 hits. Billy Merner, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 11th save.

Jordan Diaz went 1 for 5 with a triple and a walk for Denver. The 31-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Juan Martinez. It was his 7th walk of the season.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Anderson.

With the win, Denver has a record of 16-17. Ann Arbor falls to 13-20.
