SPRINGFIELD, IL – August 3, 2008 –
The DuBois County Bombers
defeated the Springfield Sliders tonight 5-3 in front of
1733 Slider faithful. The Bombers Michael Burgary threw a
gem holding the Sliders scoreless through 8 innings. The
Bombers offense was led by Wes Fink who drove in 2 runs on a
sacrifice fly and a solo homerun. Jared Baehl also added a
triple for DuBois. The Sliders offense finally broke
through in the 9th loading the bases with no outs down by
5. Springfield ended up plating 3 before the final out was
made on Jimmy Swift, the would-be winning run, just short of
the warning track in center field.
