Sand Gnats Spill Power, 5-4
The Savannah Sand Gnats defeated the West Virginia Power, 5-4. Center Fielder Daron Bishop deserved a large share of the credit. Bishop went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 for the Sand Gnats. Jonathan Kelly recorded the save, making him 8 for 13. With the win, the Sand Gnats hiked their record to 59-50.

It could have been a different outcome for Savannah, had it not been for Tim Simpson, the 23-year old shortstop . Simpson contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Savannah up, 5-4.

Bishop told reporters after the game: "This one was touch and go, but we were able to put it in the win column."
