Birdwings Beat Sting, 5-4
The Hazleton Birdwings withstood an impressive performance by Houston third baseman Julio de la Cruz to defeat the Sting, 5-4, at Road Warriors Field. de la Cruz went 3 for 4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. The win went to Carlos Arreola in relief, making him now 6-3. Don Mrazek took the loss for Houston. The Birdwings, at 53-39, lead by one game in their division.

Elwiin Groot drew 1 walk for Hazleton. The 21-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Don Mrazek. It was his 12th walk of the season.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Hazleton manager Roberto Flores. "It's usually not just one thing."
