White Deer Wins, Hoffman goes 3-for-5
No one was more impactful than Preston Hoffman in the 11-4 White Deer win over Columbus. Hoffman went 3-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The winner was Nate Roberson, who threw 110 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 4 hits. The save went to Tyler Layne, number 1 for him.

With White Deer leading 3-1 in the top of the fourth, Hoffman hit a run-scoring single off Columbus hurler Oliver Murga. It was the 3rd hit of the season for Hoffman and put his team ahead, 4-1.

"We knocked the fire out of the ball," said White Deer manager Brendan Rees. "The guys swung the bats pretty good, and that's fun to see."

Columbus falls to 0-2.
