Aviators Bridle Blue Pirates, 3-2
<North Carolina:team#8> beat <Ontario:team#77> on the strength of starter <Hyotaru Takahashi:player#10499>'s fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 3-2. Takahashi got the win, improving to 11-15. He allowed 5 hits and walked 4 over 8 innings. Takahashi allowed 2 runs. <Nate Mulholland:player#1893> was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 27 of 34 save opportunities.

Had <Rod Crews:player#10398> not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Crews hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Aviators.

"We'll enjoy this win," said Takahashi. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."

North Carolina now has a 3-game win streak.
