Starting pitcher Pat Hunt pitched well enough to help the Little Caesars Hot N Readys beat the Yakima Hops by the score of 5-3. Hunt was the winning pitcher and moves to 5-2. He threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 7 and giving up 3 walks. The Hot N Readys saw their record improve to 49-53.

Mike Taylor in the bottom of the third had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and the Hot N Readys leading 1-0, the Little Caesars catcher drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"Pat was throwing free and easy," said Little Caesars manager José Vázquez.
