Athletics Get Better of Cubs, 7-0
Right-hander John Ries mesmerized the Chicago N (AZL) Cubs while leading the Oakland (AZL) Athletics to a 7-0 victory. The win makes Oakland (AZL) 22-23.

Josh Blair had a big 3-run home run for the Athletics in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Oakland (AZL) leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Victor Arias and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Athletics on top, 4-0.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Blair.
