Hartfield Whacks 2 Home Runs in 10-2 Win
The Huntsville Rockets outclassed the Tampa Capitals, 10-2, at Capitals Ballpark. Chris Hartfield, who is tied for 8th in the N-A in home runs with 11, was a major contributor for Huntsville. Hartfield slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Paul Dolezal went 6.1 innings for Huntsville to pick up the win. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs. He scattered 7 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 7. His record improves to 7-1. The first-place Rockets have won 7 consecutive games.

Huntsville used a clutch at-bat from David Hidalgo to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rockets ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We didn't put our best foot forward tonight," said losing manager Matt Kaczmarczyk.
