Fans were not deterred by the threat of rain. They came to see their hometown Dollywood Partons take on the White Deer Tropics.

The Dollywood Partons defeated the White Deer Tropics, 8-2, at Dolly Parton Ballpark. Max Benitez was a standout performer for Dollywood. His 3 hits included 1 single and 2 doubles -- this in addition to the 1 run he scored and 2 he knocked in. Dollywood reliever Ryan Fluker picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Bernie Rodriguez was saddled with the loss. Scott Sauer, who is tied for 2nd in the S-A in holds with 7, nailed down the save.

The Partons ran into trouble in the top of the fourth. The score was 3-2, Dollywood, with two out. White Deer, with runners on 1st and 3rd, had Robby Parra at the plate. With a base hit, he could have changed the complexion of the game. Instead, he popped out and the Partons went on to win.

The Partons lead the Southern A East Division by 18 games.
