The Indians traveled through the rain up to sunny Mebane NC, to battle the Giants of Alamance County in an early morning Saturday showdown. Maybe the Indians should have done a rain dance in Mebane, because after evening up the score at 2-2 by a couple of single off the bats of Allen Williford and Jay Biesenthal, a hit batsman and a pair of walks, the Giants put 4 more runs on the board and kept the war drums relatively quiet. The Indians scored one in the 8th, after Jay Biesenthal lead off with a double and Jamie Lee knocked him in with a single. The Tribe threatened again in the 9th, but a double play end all hopes.
