Foresters Lose Late, 7-5
Good production from first baseman Kirby Copeland helped the Toronto Wolves topple the Cleveland Foresters, 7-5. Copeland went 3 for 4 with a triple and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Wolves. Zane Kelley earned the win to go to 2-7. He allowed 5 runs on 11 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts in 8 innings of work. Earning the save was Doc Kidney. He's now cashed in 4 of 4 save opportunities.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Jim Allen to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Wolves on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It never gets old," said Allen. "Winning, that is."

The Wolves saw their record improve to 32-44.
