Hot Chickens Tag Pajaritos with 5-2 Loss
Nashville beat Norfolk on the strength of starting pitcher Takakazu Ishihara's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-2. In 7 innings, Ishihara surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. Marlon Anderson was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 20 of 24 save opportunities.

The Pajaritos had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Hot Chickens going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 31-year old third baseman Sergio Poston came to the plate. Poston hit a 2-run home run on a 0-2 sinker from Norfolk hurler Louis Bainbridge. It was Poston's 1st home run of the year.

"Takakazu is tough when he's hitting his spots," said Nashville manager Paul Dawsey.

The Hot Chickens go to 35-53 with the win.
