Miners Topple Wranglers, 4-0
The Carson City Miners downed the Newport News Wranglers, 4-0, at Miners Ballpark. Stellar pitching by Chris Byrd had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who is tied for 5th in the SL2 in wins with 10, handcuffed his opponent all game. Byrd got the win, improving to 10-1. He gave up 4 hits and walked 0 over 6.2 innings. He allowed no runs. The first-place Miners have a one-game lead in their division.

Octavio Lara swatted a 2-run home run for Carson City in the bottom of the fourth. The first baseman went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and batted in 2.

"Can't say enough about our pitching," said Lara.
