Irons Lifts Wranglers to 9-4 Triumph
Matt Irons was a major contributor to the 9-4 Newport News win over Spring Park. The Wranglers first baseman was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Kyoshi Kano notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 5 hits in 3.1 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. Spring Park is 0-2 after the loss.

Newport News shortstop Brian Beason helped the Wranglers go up, 5-4, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Beason hit a run-scoring single off Spring Park pitcher Jim Unknown.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Beason, "one at-bat at a time."
