Bombardiers Suffer 6-3 Home Defeat
The Miami Boll Weevils beat the Cincinnati Bombardiers, 6-3. Miami pitcher and Decatur, Alabama, native Gerardo Matute led the way. Matute, now 7-5, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 9, walking 0, and allowing 1 run. Justin Farrell was called on to finish, recording his 12th save.

Miami used a clutch at-bat from Tom Gessner to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Boll Weevils ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We had a good game plan," Matute said, "and we were able to execute it."

After today's action, Miami sits at 41-52; Cincinnati slips to 45-48.
