Pajaritos Subdue Sacramento, 3-1
In a low-scoring affair between the Norfolk Pajaritos and the Sacramento Redlegs, pitcher Walt Middleton was the difference between victory and defeat. The Norfolk left-hander earned accolades in the 3-1 Pajaritos win. Middleton, the winner, moves to 8-7. He threw 5 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 8 and giving up 3 walks. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Chris Small.

The Pajaritos got a big at-bat from first baseman Muneyaki Hayashi. For the game, Hayashi was 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 7th home run of the season gave Norfolk a 2-0 lead.

"Every loss hurts," said Sacramento manager John Brown. "But this was a tough one."

The 7th-place Pajaritos have a record of 42-53.
