Purple Wave Rack Up 2-0 Win Versus Denver
The rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of New Rochelle fans at Ballpark of Lexington.

The New Rochelle Purple Wave went home winners at Ballpark of Lexington, thanks in large part to starter Pat Hiltner. Hiltner stifled the Denver Pilots, enabling New Rochelle to grab the 2-0 win. Hiltner, the winner, moves to 3-1. He threw 6.1 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 2 walks. Getting the save was Sam Crider, his 5th.

The Pilots had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Purple Wave going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old right fielder Dave Acosta came to the plate. Acosta hit a run-scoring double on a 1-2 fastball from Denver hurler Billy Merner. It was Acosta's 3rd double of the year.

"Runs were at a premium," said New Rochelle manager Brent Boudreau.

Denver is now 13-13.
