Paul Simister was a major contributor to the 7-3 Hartford win over Chesapeake. The Matadors catcher was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The win belonged to Ricky Garay in relief. His record improves to 5-3. Melvin Gamboa took the loss for Chesapeake. Hartford is now 55-48, Chesapeake 39-64.

Simister contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Hartford in the bottom of the third. With his team trailing 3-2, Simister took a fastball from Melvin Gamboa and stroked the home run to right-center. His 11th home run of the season allowed the Matadors to leap in front, 4-3.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Simister.
