Poplar Bluff beat White Deer on the strength of starting pitcher Frank Rivera's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-1. The Hillbillies now have a record of 34-83.

Jon Pena had a big 2-run home run for the Hillbillies in the top of the second inning. With Poplar Bluff leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a changeup from Dustin Mitchell, who is tied for 6th in the S-A in saves with 13, and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Hillbillies on top, 3-0.

"We put our best foot forward tonight," said a smiling Rivera.
