Camels Take Down Dynamites, 9-8
Fans watched the Cooperstown Camels and the Napoleon Dynamites fight to the finish.

In a high-scoring contest between Cooperstown and Napoleon, left fielder Cody Bellinger was a difference-maker. Bellinger, who finished 2nd in the NL in wins above replacement with 6.7 last year, distinguished himself in the 9-8 Cooperstown win. He slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Dirk Coleman earned the save, his 24th in 26 tries.

Francisco Lindor was 1-4 with a walk for Cooperstown. The two-time The Barrett Award (MVP) winner had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 8-8 tie with a run-scoring walk off David Gozalo. It was his 56th walk of the season.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Bellinger said. "We did a good job of that today."

Cooperstown improves to 84-40 with the win. They lead their division by 7 games.
