Matadors Pick Up 7-5 Win Against Nashville
The Hartford Matadors spoiled a good performance by Nashville catcher Maurice Easter, bumping off Nashville, 7-5, at Lasers Ballpark. Easter went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Hartford is now 67-70. Nashville is 67-70.

Hartford used a clutch at-bat from Taylor McLean to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Matadors ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

In postgame comments to the Hartford News, McLean said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
