Expos Lose Again, 6-4, to Smokies
Tennessee Smokies starter Morgan Novak pitched a strong game against the Niagara Falls Expos at Smokies Stadium, leading the Smokies to a 6-4 win. Niagara Falls has now lost 6 in a row.

The Expos had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Smokies going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old second baseman Shun Fukui came to the plate. Fukui hit a 2-run double on a 0-1 fastball from Niagara Falls hurler Gijsbert van Veen. It was Fukui's 3rd double of the year.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Novak, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
