The Bats almost let a late lead get away from them but a late inning flurry gave them the runs they needed in the 8-5 win.  Kevin Barker was one of the hitting stars and he belted a home run and he drove in three.  Wes Bankston went three for four with two doubles, a run and an RBI.

Justin Lehr didn’t have his best start but it was good enough to improve to 7-2.  He gave up four runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Jose Roenicke threw a shutout ninth and he picked up his ninth save of the season.
