McKinstry Helps Maine Outscore Austin
Steve McKinstry knocked in 5 runs to help Maine beat Austin, 16-10. The first baseman collected 2 singles, 1 double, and 1 home run. Maine goes to 88-57. The win puts them 12 games up in their division.

Had Eric Hicks not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Hicks hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 11-10, in favor of the Pines.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," Hicks told the Maine Today.
