Wranglers Spill Green Knights, 8-4
The Newport News Wranglers weathered a fine game by Spring Park second baseman Chris Alexander to upend the Green Knights, 8-4, at Ballpark of Spring Park. Alexander was 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Jim Unknown, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-0. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 1. The Wranglers, at 18-27, have now won 4 straight.

Newport News used the clutch hitting of Justin Perez to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Wranglers the lead, 5-2. For the game, Perez had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"It feels good to get this one," Perez told the Newport News Daily.
