Down to Defeat Goes Ann Arbor, 5-4
The Ann Arbor Z's got a sterling performance from pitcher Mike Medley, but the Orono Oaks still prevailed, 5-4. Medley threw 6.2 innings allowing 4 runs. Erik Ashley, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-1. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 4.1 innings. The current losing streak for Ann Arbor has reached 5 games.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Paul McComas came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Ann Arbor pitcher Alex Valdes, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Orono on top, 5-4.

"Enjoyed this one," McComas told the Orono News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
