Looking for Momentum into the All-Star Break...
June 25th:
The Bella Coona Trappers started to close in as they scored 1 in the top of the 7th to make it a 5-4 game, but the JetHawks answered that with a 4-run bottom of the 7th, capped off by an 2-run Cristobal Cuevas double. Michael Huck shook off his last loss and threw 4 innings of 1 hit ball for the win.

Walter Smith on the brink of losing his job, came through with a quality start. Going 7 2/3 innings allowing 5 hits and 3 runs. And thanks to 3-runs in the bottom of the 7th (an RBI 2B by Santo Batista and a 2-run blast by Kent Cohen) he was able to walk away with the victory.

June 27th:
The JetHawks looking to go into the All-Star break with a sweep of the Trappers, took a 7-3 lead into the ninth...Then the bullpen let them down again. Giving up 4 runs in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 7. The 4 run top of the 9th wasn't enough to take all the momentum. With one out Santo Batista singled to right, Anderson Hulbert was brought in to pinch-run and promptly stole second base. With 0 outs and a runner on 2nd, the Trappers intentionally walk Cristobal Cuevas, already 3-4 on the day, to put runners on first and second. In an act of being over-agressive, manager Anthony Wayne put on the steal sign, and Hulbert and Cuevas moved up safely. The next batter Johnnie Shipton hit a short pop-up to left-field and Hulbert tagged up. It was a close play, but not close enough for the Trappers and the JetHawks took the series and the final game of the 1st half of the season.
