Hot N Readys Get One-Run Win at Irving
Little Caesars Hot N Readys starter Sam Groves was in fine form against the Irving Blue Sox at Blue Sox Ballpark, leading his team to a 5-2 win. Groves went 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 9-8. Jim Unknown locked down his 1st save.

Sean Angwin's at-bat in the top of the eighth was significant for the Hot N Readys. Coming to the plate with the bases loaded and Little Caesars leading 3-2, the right fielder hit a sacrifice fly.

Groves told the Little Caesars Bulletin: "I don't know which I enjoy more -- being a ballplayer or the perks that come with being a ballplayer."

Little Caesars has 3 straight wins, Irving 3 straight losses.
