Reapers Pick Up 8-1 Win Against Chicago
The Carolina Reapers downed the Chicago Gangsters, 8-1, at Reedy River Stadium. Stellar pitching by B.J. Rudolph had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who finished 3rd in the NC in innings pitched with 211.1 last year, handcuffed his opponent all game. Carolina now has a record of 31-30 with the win.

Dylan Wechsler had a big grand slam home run for the Reapers in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Carolina leading 3-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a forkball from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Arnold Novak and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Reapers on top, 7-0.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Antonio Valdez.
