Hotspur Reserves Get Win, Hope to Turn Around Slow Start
The Jersey City Tritons and Phoenix Hotspur Reserves cranked it up at Jersey City Grounds.

The Phoenix Hotspur Reserves topped the Jersey City Tritons by the score of 8-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Marc Meertens. Meertens was 2-5 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Hotspur Reserves on the day. Ricardo Sánchez got the win, improving to 1-0. He worked 7.2 innings, giving up 5 runs on 10 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 3.

Meertens had a game-changing single in the top of the sixth. On a 1-0 fastball from Pedro Silva, he banged a 2-run single to center, giving the Hotspur Reserves a 3-1 lead. It was the 2nd hit of the year for Meertens.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Meertens said after the game.

The Hotspur Reserves raised their record to 2-3.
