Rockies Win Thriller, 7-6
Though he had a stellar game, J.J. Braun could not prevent his team, the Washington (Rk+) Nationals, from losing, 7-6, to the Grand Junction Rockies. Braun went 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. The second-place Nationals have dropped 4 straight games.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, 19-year old right fielder Brandon Peeples had a chance to be the hero. Washington (Rk+) pitcher Juan Quiroz wanted to foil that plan. But with one out, Peeples hit a sacrifice fly. The Rockies had themselves a thrilling win.

Peeples said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
