Tyler Asbury, who came on with two outs in the 6th, pitched the 7th and got his second win. Canton Crew 0 at Akron Lasiks 8 Dave Ford took to the mound for the third time this season and didn't pitch badly, but the deep and balanced lineup of the Akron Lasiks gave him a workout.

The Crew offense only mustered two hits for the game, and struck out 7 times. 6.13.11 Canton Crew 0 at Team Diesel 4 Little went right for the Crew Monday at Summit lake versus Team Diesel.

Tyler Asbury started on the hill and had arm problems, leaving with nobody out in the 4th. The Defense didn't help him as three defensive miscues gave Diesel two unearned runs.

Jake Stahl had two of them and Bill Vincent finally broke out and got his first hit as a member of the Canton Crew. The only bright spot, if there is any, was the superb relief work of Crew rookie Rob Blevins. Blevins went 3 innings only surrending one hit and walking one.

Todd McCutcheon and Brett Sitzler then both singled to bring home the win. 6.10.11 Team Diesel 3 at Canton Crew 1 Nate Miller made his debut on the mound and it was a tale of two pitchers. One was dominant, only allowing 2 hits and throwing good quality strikes. The other was erratic, hitting two batters, walking five, and wasn't helped by two defensive errors to let Team Diesel take the lead and never look back. A.J. Kile was the only Crew player to drive in a run, getting his first hit of the season before the game was called in the top of the 6th due to lightning. 6.8.11 Canton Crew 6 at Alliance AA 10 Steve Scolaro return to the mound for the Crew didn't last very long, as he wasn't able to get out of the first inning. Scolaro struggled with command, walking five and giving up nine runs before being relieved by Dave Ford. Ford went 3.2 scoreless and Rob Blevins made his first appearance for the Crew going 2 innings giving up one run. The offense tried to rally back, but the deficit was too great.
