Armando Merza added some punch to the Norfolk offense, helping them outmuscle the Kansas Rainbeaus, 11-7. In the game, Merza, who is tied for 10th in the SAAA in extra base hits with 6, went 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Eduardo Rivera, now 3-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 2.1 innings. After losing, Kansas is 4-11.

Merza contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Norfolk in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 3-2, Merza took a fastball from Francisco Rodríguez and stroked the home run to right-center. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Pajaritos to leap in front, 4-3.

"Anytime we get it going, it puts a smile on my face," said Merza.
