Hialeah Dispatched, 6-3, by Miami
The Miami Boll Weevils earned a win at Firecats Ballpark, knocking off the Hialeah Firecats, 6-3. On the bump for Miami was right-hander Ferhat Chiwocha. He had a starring role in the triumph. The winner was Chiwocha. He threw 7.1 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Frank Howerton. With the win, Miami is 10-15.

Miami used a clutch at-bat from Justin Steltenpohl to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Boll Weevils ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said Miami manager Bill Murtha: "We squared some balls up."
