Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Baton Rouge Brass and Norfolk Pajaritos.

The Baton Rouge Brass defeated the Norfolk Pajaritos by the score of 8-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Clint Sheffield.

He tossed 92 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. Earl Alaniz closed out the game, earning his 4th save.

Baton Rouge grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Sheffield hit a 3-run home run off Howard Rodríguez. His 4th home run of the season put the Brass out in front, 4-1.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Brass manager Luis Ruíz. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
