Having won 5 of its 7 home games thus far in August, Fleetwood next welcomed the Plaza Lions to town. With a 67-45 record through its first 112 games, the Lions would surely provide the Walkers with another tough test.
As it turns out, Fleetwood's David Wright and Jim Edmonds were up the challenge. Wright gave the Walkers an early 1-0 lead with a solo homer in the 1st inning. After Plaza turned the tables with two runs in the top of the 2nd inning, Edmonds knotted the game at 2-2 with a solo home run of his own in the bottom of the frame.
Wright continued his strong game with a 2-run single in the bottom of the 4th. And in the bottom of the 8th inning, Edmonds capped the night with his second homer. Fleetwood had won 7-3.
David Bush was the beneficiary of this offensive support, while Derrick Turnbow earned the save. The next game in this exciting series would feature young righty Ervin Santana for Plaza and veteran lefty Mark Buehrle for Fleetwood.
