Eugene Wins, 6-4, in Extra Innings
Though he had a terrific game, Dave Hogan could not prevent his team, the Hillsboro Hops, from absorbing a loss. Eugene won the game, 6-4. Hogan was 5 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Jorge Orfila was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 1 of 1 save opportunities. The Emeralds bumped their record to 39-34 with this win.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Norberto Gutiérrez? The 21-year old second baseman Gutiérrez stroked a 2-run double in the top of the 12th inning to put Eugene up, 6-4. For the game, he was 2 for 7, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Gutiérrez.
