Hot N Readys Beat Blue Sox in 11
Little Caesars Hot N Readys starter Sam Groves turned in a workmanlike performance against the Irving Blue Sox at Blue Sox Ballpark. He threw 8 innings of 4-hit ball in the 7-6 win. Lorenzo Tamargo earned the save for Little Caesars, his 3rd of the year. Little Caesars now sits in 6th place in the Silver AA at 29-28.

Jorge Salgado's hit in the top of the 11th was a game-changer. With two out, he rapped a slider from Gene Anderson for a 2-run single. It put Little Caesars in front, 7-5.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Groves.
