5 Straight Wins for Pajaritos
Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Norfolk Pajaritos got the win.

In a low-scoring tilt between the Norfolk Pajaritos and the Alaskan Humpbacks, 28-year old left-handed pitcher José Peña was the difference-maker. The Norfolk left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Maurice Richards, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings.

Norfolk used a clutch hit from Armando Merza to snatch the win. The pinch hitter belted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Pajaritos ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

Merza attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."

This win makes it 5 in a row for Norfolk.
