AmeriStars are 4-0

After a 10-inning game with the Cubs that felt like we were in college again, the AmeriStars are atop the American Division standings at 4-0.  Mike Nickell, in his first return from a torn calf muscle, picked up the win in relief pitching two scoreless innings.  Chris Pate drove in Jason Blurton with a sacrifice fly to right with one out in the bottom of the tenth for the extra-inning victory.  Blurton led off the inning with a walk and was bunted to second by Derrick Dobbins.  A passed ball moved Blurton to third where he later scored.
