Boll Weevils Win Squeaker, 4-3, Over Bulldogs
The Miami Boll Weevils faced a tough opponent in Hamilton pitcher Branden Covington, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Ballpark of Miami by a final score of 4-3. Covington went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Brent Kuest got credit for the win, improving to 2-1. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2.1 innings. The win puts Miami at 39-28 this season.

Miami got a knockout punch from Greg Hadley. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

Said Miami manager Bill Murtha: "At the end of the day, these guys have to perform between the lines, and I think they did."
