Rock 'Em! Sock 'Em! Burke Blasts 3 Homers in Norfolk Win
Behind a fine performance from Tom Burke, the Norfolk Pajaritos knocked off the Nashville Hot Chickens, 11-7. Burke slugged 3 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring three times for the Pajaritos. Pancho Caro notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 1-1. The slumping Hot Chickens have lost 7 straight.

Gale Boetticher, who is tied for 2nd in the SAAA with a 1.066 OPS, came through for Norfolk with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the eighth. The first baseman went 3 for 5 for the game, including 2 home runs and 1 double. He scored 3 runs and collected 4 RBI.

Said losing manager Ward Wilberfoss: "These are the grinding hard days that all good teams go through, and this is when we've got to stick together and believe in one another."
