Pajaritos Snag 6-4 Win
Addy Spoelstra did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Bakersfield Nobles from losing, 6-4, to the Norfolk Pajaritos at Jerome Grounds. Spoelstra went 2-4 with 2 home runs. Eddy Boyd notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 4 innings. His record now sits at 1-6. Norfolk has now won 4 straight.

The outcome might have been different for Norfolk, had it not been for Joel Costello, the 27-year old center fielder . Costello stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Norfolk up, 5-4. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Costello, "and then get after it again."
