Pueblo Slaps 2-0 Loss on White Deer
The Pueblo Heroes claimed a close win over the White Deer Tropics, due in large part to Justin Binford. The Pueblo left-hander pitched a great game to secure the 2-0 win. The winning pitcher was Binford, now 3-0. He tossed 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 2. William Hudgins finished to wrap up his 1st save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Josh Johnson? The Pueblo second baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Heroes on top, 2-0. For the game, Johnson had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We didn't score," said losing manager Gabriel Gonzalez. "That was the problem."

The loss lowers the White Deer record to 12-6.
