Lowell Spinners 4, Tri-City Valley Cats 5 (10)
Mark Appel made his professional debut in a Valley Cats extra-inning win at home on Friday. Appel allowed two runs (1ER) on three hits in the first inning and then settled down to record a 1-2-3 second inning before leaving the game (he was on 30-pitch limit in his debut). Appel also struck out the last batter he faced in the first. Tanner Bushue followed for two and a third and allowed another two on four hits and walked a pair. Patrick Christensen (1-0) picked up the win, his first, in relief pitching the last six outs of the game. Christensen induced a double play to end the ninth inning, then went three-up, three-down in the 10th, striking out one. Two Tri-City batters had multi-hit nights, D'Andre Toney and Conrad Gregor. Toney went two-for-four with a strikeout and Gregor hit three-for-five with a double, two RBI and a strikeout. The winning run was scored when pinch-runner Thomas Lindauer scored from third on a passed ball in the 10th.

Player of the Day: Quad Cities may have lost yesterday, but Roberto Pena's performance was far from losing. Great game.
Pitcher of the Day: Travis Ballew gets the nod today for picking up his 14th save of the season in commanding fashion. Ballew is nothing if not consistent and that is invaluable on the diamond. Well done. An honorable mention also goes out to Jake Buchanan and his nine strikeouts—wowza.
