The 5-RBI night of designated hitter Matt Sikes, who is tied for 10th in the NC in home runs with 12, helped the Whitby Bats triumph, 20-6, over the Plymouth Rockers. Whitby reliever Jesus Ochoa picked up the win to move to 2-0. Jim Unknown suffered the loss. Plymouth is in the throes of a losing streak which has reached 9 games.

With Whitby leading 10-1 in the top of the eighth, Sikes came up to bat against Plymouth pitcher Jim Unknown. Sikes hit a slider to center for a 3-run home run. His 12th home run of the season put the Bats on top, 13-1.

"We've hit a lull," said Plymouth manager Matt Seipp.
