-- Jonathan Johnson hit a fifth-inning triple to drive in two runs and lead the Mat-Su Miners to a 2-0 victory over the Peninsula Oilers on Thursday. Winning pitcher Will Musson threw eight shutout innings, struck out eight and gave up five hits. The Goldpanners left 11 men on base. With the victory, the Miners managed to hang on to their first-place tie with the Anchorage Bucs.
