Janissaries Drop Zephyrs, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Istanbul Janissaries and the Belfast Zephyrs, pitcher Zdenik Polacek was the difference between victory and defeat. The Istanbul right-hander earned kudos in the 3-2 Janissaries win. Polacek, now 6-11, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 11, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. The Janissaries now own a record of 53-79.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Fyodor Sannikov? The 25-year old catcher Sannikov stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put Istanbul up, 2-1. For the game, he was 2 for 3, including 1 double and 1 single.

"When you are able to locate the ball, good things are going to happen," said Polacek.
