Minnesota right-hander Dan Sampson helped his team edge Arizona by the score of 2-1. Sampson kept the opposing lineup in check. Ben Kaiser earned the save for Minnesota, his 18th of the year. The Mallards, at 58-47, sit in second place in the Frontier League East.

Minnesota relied on the hitting of Wai-ho Zhai to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mallards on top, 2-0. For the game, Zhai had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Bottom line," said Arizona skipper Alex Cumana, "we didn't play well enough to win."
