Shafer Powers Flyers to 9-0 Win
In the 9-0 Newark win over Tampa, the impact of Ben Shafer was substantial. Shafer, who is tied for 7th in the N-A with a .330 batting average, was 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Brad Porretta earned the win to go to 5-0. He allowed no runs on 6 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. The triumph makes Newark 18-8, as the team begins another long trek toward the playoffs in 2023.

With Newark leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Shafer hit a cutter from Andy Devane for a grand slam home run. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Flyers ahead, 5-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Shafer.
