The exploits of right fielder Alex Benitez helped the Niagara Falls Barrels defeat the St. Petersburg Pelicans, 17-2. Benitez was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Now 3-14, the 2063 Pelicans have been wretched so far.

Early in the game, second baseman Robby Baker had a 3-run home run for Niagara Falls. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Barrels on top, 3-0.

Said St. Petersburg manager Gilbert Drader: "We got our rear ends kicked."
