Tropics Overwhelm Bowsers, 14-5
The White Deer Tropics beat the Columbus Bowsers, 14-5, at Ballpark of White Deer. The win was due in part to left fielder Pete Beauford, who belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. Bernie Rodriguez earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 5 innings. He upped his record to 5-4. White Deer is now 58-45.

Adam Persons had a big bases-clearing double for the Tropics in the bottom of the fourth inning. With White Deer trailing 5-3 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Hector Flores, who is tied for 4th in the S-A in strikeouts with 121, and swatted a double to left. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Tropics ahead, 6-5.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Beauford. "You've got to get results."
