Pajaritos Stick Thunderbirds with 4-3 Loss
In a tight contest at Coyote Wildlife Refuge, the Norfolk Pajaritos edged the Hamilton Thunderbirds by the score of 4-3. Norfolk left fielder Hunter Griffin, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. Dan Watson picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 8 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 4-4. Álex Landol was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Griffin had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a first pitch fastball from Raúl Martínez, he banged a 2-run home run to left, giving the Pajaritos a 4-2 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Griffin.

After the game, Norfolk manager Phil Baker applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.

The 5th-place Pajaritos improved to 41-34.
