In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

Virginia Beach catcher Xavier Mercier had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Casper Ghosts, 12-7. Virginia Beach occupies second place in the Silver AA at 30-17.

The outcome might have been different for Virginia Beach, had it not been for Scott French, the 24-year old shortstop . French stroked a 2-run single in the top of the sixth inning to put Virginia Beach up, 9-6. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We maximized our offense today," said Virginia Beach skipper Bernie Drake. "That makes everyone's life easier."
