Bucs 2- Oilers 1
The Oilers had a chance to clinch the season series with the Anchorage Bucs on Monday; however, the Oilers fell 2-1. A win for the Oilers would have sealed the season series; the series is now tied 5-5 with the final meeting against the Bucs Thursday.
The Oilers scored their lone run in the top of the 1st, a Chad Bible solo home run, his second home run of the season gave the Oilers the lead.
The Bucs scored in the bottom of the third on a home-run by Jake Vieth against Oilers starter Noah Owen, tying the game 1-1.
The score remained tied until the bottom of the seventh, a sacrifice fly against Oilers reliever Ryan Silva put the Bucs up 2-1.
The score held for the Bucs 16th win of the season. Noah Owen received a no-decision after throwing four innings; Silva is tagged with the loss. The loss dropped the Oilers to 18-16, three games behind the Mat-Su Miners for the top record in the Alaska Baseball League (the Miners also lost on Monday).
