Plainsmen Fall to Xhaka, Blaze
The South Beach Blaze dealt the Nebraska Plainsmen a 17-2 loss at The Ballpark on the Beach. Martinus Xhaka was the star on offense. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5. The winner was Malulani Anakone, who threw 83 pitches over 5 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 4 hits. The last-place Blaze now have a win-loss record of 19-27.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the first inning when the Blaze sent teenager Ramiro Ramos to the plate against Plainsmen hurler Sam Groves. With the bases loaded and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a 1-2 fastball to score 1.

"We swung the bats pretty good throughout the lineup," said South Beach skipper Justin Trewhells.
