Hex Roll Over Thunder Wolves, 9-4
Good production from first baseman Ruben Guevara helped the Providence Hex topple the Tacoma Thunder Wolves, 9-4. Guevara went 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles for the Hex. Juan Contreras, who leads the SL1 in wins with 6, was the winning pitcher. Over 7.1 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 12 hits, with no walks and 2 strikeouts. The win elevated the Hex to 28-16.

Providence used the timely hitting of Hector Mejia to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hex on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Tacoma manager Alfonso Estrada.
