APPLETON FOXES 000 020 000 - 2 4 2
CLINTON GIANTS 000 000 001 - 1 4 1
Tom Forrester hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning. Forrester was a first round pick (22nd overall) in the January draft in 1985.
Steve Oswald pitched eight scoreless innings, but got into trouble in the ninth inning as the Giants had runners on second and third with no outs. Dave White allowed an infield grounder to let one of the runs score. Then, the Foxes closer struck out the final two batters for the save.
Oswald is now 5-2. White's save was his sixth.
The Foxes are 26-14 on the season after this win.
