Bender goes 3-for-5 in Nashville Win
The Nashville Lasers trumped the Montreal Royals, 9-1, at Turtles Ballpark. Nashville third baseman Jamie Bender was terrific. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. Nashville occupies 4th place in the Stars Conference East Division at 62-61.

Bender got the Lasers off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he hit a run-scoring single.

Said losing manager Bobby White: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
