Matadors Pull Off Thrilling 3-1 Win in Extras
The Hartford Matadors downed the Laredo Ghosts, 3-1, at Ballpark of Tacoma. Stellar pitching by Mike Hernandez had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who is rated as the 75th best prospect by BNN, handcuffed his opponent all game. Hartford reliever John Schwartz picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Joe Iverson was saddled with the loss. The last-place Matadors are now 53-56, the Ghosts 56-53.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the 13th when Jeff Duenas hit a 2-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Iverson to win the game for Hartford. The home crowd went wild.

"This game was intense," Hernandez said, postgame.
