Ems Drop a Close One
Last night in Spokane the Eugene Emeralds led one nothing through six and a half innings when the Indians Miguel Aparicio homered with one man on to take a 2 – 1 lead. That would be the final score as the Ems could not mount an attack. Jose Albertos pitched 5 strong innings for the Emeralds allowing only one hit and striking out 6. Keegan Thompson came in relief and gave up the game winning homer although it was the only hit he allowed.
Tonight it’s game two of five in Spokane between the Em’s and Indians. The series continues over the weekend and closes out on Monday night.

Ducks Don Pads
The Oregon Ducks threw on their pads for the first time in camp. Yesterday’s practice in the heat brought a new level of excitement as the Ducks began to gel. According to New Head Coach Willie Taggart he saw guys working hard and having a lot of fun. Taggart moved yesterday’s practice to a morning workout to avoid the heat of the afternoon. Temperatures in Eugene reached 108 degrees.
