Big Day by Esparza Ignites Hops Win
Yakima first baseman Jorge Esparza had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 7-2 win over the Asheville Highlanders. Kurt Adams got the win, improving to 3-0. He held the Highlanders to 2 earned runs on 6 hits over 7 innings, while striking out 3 and walking 0. Yakima is 7th in the Menard's AA with a record of 36-38.

Had Alfredo Pliego not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Pliego hit a 2-run double. That made the score 4-2, in favor of the Hops.

"I'm just happy to help the team win," Pliego told the Yakima Observer.
