The River Cats took care of the Cubs in a 3-1 win and it was Vin Mazzaro who picked up the win.  He improved to 2-2 and he gave up just one unearned runs on four hits and a walk with six strikeouts in six innings of work.

Eric Patterson had just one hit but it was a two run blast in the third inning.  Daric Barton drove in the other run with a solo shot in the second inning.

I’ve come to learn that Demarini baseball bats are the only way to go.  I went from hitting chump to a slugger with my double wall and the ball just springs off the bat.  I picked up my bat as well as a nice new Rawlings glove over at Baseball Rampage.  I may be in the 35 and older league, but I’m hitting like I did in high school.
