Pajaritos Down Pride, 7-4
The Norfolk Pajaritos grabbed a win, 7-4, over the Hartford Pride at Pride Park. Norfolk right fielder Armando Merza slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Chris Small, the winning pitcher, is now 6-3. He went 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 2. The save went to Álex Landol, number 3 for him.

Norfolk used the bat of Terry Betancourt to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Pajaritos ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Merza.

Norfolk has now reeled off 8 straight wins.
