Flowers Powers Matadors Offense
In the 10-8 Hartford win over Joilet, the impact of Chris Flowers was substantial. Flowers, who is rated as the 55th best prospect by BNN, went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Paul Birchfield got the win, improving to 3-5. He held the Jesters to 3 runs on 4 hits over 6 innings, while striking out 5 and walking 1. Hartford is first in the Stars Conference West Division with a record of 32-20.

In the bottom of the 1st, Hartford took the lead on a 2-run double by Jeff Duenas. At the time, the Matadors were trailing 2-1, but Duenas's hit with two outs against Joilet pitcher Dan Woods put them in front, 3-2.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Duenas, "this wasn't it."
