Kevin Hooper singled home David Espinosa in the bottom of the ninth to win it for the Mud Hens, but it was slugger Mike Hessman who once again stole the shot.  He went three for four with a double, a homerun and three RBIs.  The homerun was his 26th and he now has 84 RBIs in 84 games.

Virgil Vasquez had a nice start but he didn’t get the decision.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits with six strikeouts in 6 1/3 inings.  Aquilino Lopez picked up the win and he struck out three in 1 1/3 shutout innings.
