Gessner Slugs 2 Home Runs, Boll Weevils Beat Firecats, 12-6
The Miami Boll Weevils defeated the Hialeah Firecats, 12-6, at Firecats Ballpark. Miami designated hitter Tom Gessner had a superb performance. He went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The last-place Firecats have lost 4 straight games.

Miami used the stroke of Justin Steltenpohl to get the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Boll Weevils ahead, 7-3. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Steltenpohl.
