Nick Theodorou's single in the bottom of the ninth drove home the winning run in the 51s' 5-4 win over Edmonton Wednesday at Cashman Field.

Theodorou was 3-for-4 with two triples and two RBIs. He had a shot at an inside-the-park home run in the fifth inning, but was trailing pitcher Harold Eckert and was slowed.

Eckert allowed 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings, but allowed only four runs to score. Edmonton's Josh Karp pitched seven innings, striking out eight and allowing eight hits.

Edmonton's Ryan Church continued his hot streak in Las Vegas, going 4-for-4 with two runs and two RBIs.
