Spray Excels, But Nutcrackers Win
The Clearlake Captains got a superb performance from catcher Todd Spray. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Normal. The Nutcrackers won the game, 11-9. In spite of the loss, Spray was named the player of the game. He hit 2 home runs. He scored 4 times and drove in 3. Reliever Omar Ramirez picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Yuji Komada took the loss. Masaharu Seino nailed down his 4th save.

Brett Margerum dealt the Captains a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with the bases loaded and Normal leading 4-3, Margerum hit a full count fastball for a 2-run single.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Margerum said.

Normal is third in the TMLR Fred McGriff Division with a record of 37-31.
