Dragoons War Memorial Stadium was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Hammond Herons and the Louisiana Dragoons.

The Hammond Herons beat the Louisiana Dragoons, 4-2, at Dragoons War Memorial Stadium. Hammond first baseman Marcos Costa earned player of the game honors with an outstanding performance. He went 2-4 with a double and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Hammond reliever Mario Gonzáles picked up the win, upping his record to 3-2. Drew Cullen shouldered the loss. Jim Unknown, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

The most important at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With two out, Lou Erwin threw a 0-1 fastball to Costa, which he hit to left for a bases-clearing double. It put Hammond in front, 4-2.

"I like the roll we're on," said Hammond manager Raúl Aguilar.

The first-place Herons have won 4 consecutive games.
