Both the Hannibal Cavemen (27-27) and the Quincy Gems (34-23) put runners aboard on Saturday, but it was the Hannibal Cavemen that were able to take advantage, pulling out a 3-2 win at Clemens Field.
The fact that the Hannibal Cavemen grouped all of their runs into the seventh inning helped them take advantage of their hits.
Dustin Lawson picked up the win for the Hannibal Cavemen. Lawson allowed one earned run, six hits and one walk while striking out six over eight innings of work.
Will Schierholz ended up on the wrong side of the pitching decision, charged with his third loss of the year. He lasted just four innings, walked none, struck out two, and allowed three runs.
