Pajaritos Score Late to Beat Pride, 7-6
Ofa Paulo was a major contributor to the 7-6 Norfolk win over Hartford. The Pajaritos first baseman went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. David Adelabu earned his 8th save, after closing out the game. Hartford, now 3-17, continues its dreadful start.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Paulo delivered big-time for Norfolk, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Jamie Gauthier. The game-changing hit put the Pajaritos on top, 7-6.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Paulo told the Norfolk Citizen.
