Lasers Squelch Tailgators Offense in Shutout Win
At Tailgators Ballpark, the Chesapeake Tailgators and Nashville Lasers were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

Nashville Lasers pitcher Pat Higginbotham was in fine form, leading his team past the Chesapeake Tailgators, 5-0. Higginbotham yielded no runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 2-1.

Nashville used a well-timed hit by Chris Harmon to capture the win. The catcher socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Lasers ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"Pat made his pitches," said Nashville manager Kenny McElhaney.

The win takes Nashville to 14-9.
