Benitez, Barrels Too Much for Birdwings
In a game featuring no shortage of runs, the Niagara Falls Barrels defeated the Hazleton Birdwings, 18-16. One of the hitting stars was Niagara Falls first baseman Alex Benitez. Benitez, who is tied for 7th in the RA in RBI with 29, was 3 for 3 with 2 home runs and 3 walks, while scoring 6 and driving in 5. The winner was Niagara Falls reliever Jose de Hoyos, now 1-0. The loser was Arturo Berrios. The loss drops Hazleton to 10-16.

In the bottom of the eighth, the Barrels grabbed the lead when Benitez hit his 7th home run of the season. The grand slam home run off Arturo Berrios made it 18-15, Niagara Falls.

Hazleton manager Roberto Flores said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
