Floundering Steelheads Lose 8th Straight
Starting pitcher Dan Sampson pitched well enough to help the Minnesota Mallards beat the Idaho Steelheads, 8-3. Sampson picked up the win for Minnesota, going 7.1 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 12-8. The third-place Steelheads have lost 8 straight games.

Minnesota used a clutch hit from Wai-ho Zhai to get the win. The shortstop drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Mallards ahead, 6-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Zhai said. "We did a good job of that today."
