It took a pretty dominant start from staff ace
Eric Maisch and some timely hitting in the later innings, but the Brewers avoided getting swept at home by the Baltimore Lords and stopped their losing streak, which had stretched to 5 games.
Unfortunately for the Brewers the Phoenix Speed Devils got a dominant performance of their own out of their starter Rick Smiley in a shutout victory over Charlotte and Phoenix maintains their pressure on the Brewers, sitting just 1 1/2 back in the standings in the MGL West now. (San Francisco, mostly treading water for some time, remain 6 games off the pace.)
