The Oregon Explorers took Minnesota pitcher Willie Salazar's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Dylan Park at Hennepin. The final score had Oregon getting past the Mallards, 3-1. Salazar went 8 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 7. The winner in relief was John Houser. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 1-1. Picking up the save was Josh Moore, his 22nd.

Oregon relied on the hitting of Ben Bridges to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Explorers on top, 2-1. For the game, Bridges had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I'm trying to keep it simple," said Bridges. "Just do my job."

The first-place Explorers, at 71-50, now lead their division by 2½ games.
