The River Cats won one and lost one in their doubleheader against Las Vegas.  The first game went well enough and the River Cats won their third straight game.  Jorge Piedra hit a two run walk off homer in the bottom of the seventh and he finished the game with four of the River Cats five runs.  Jeffrey Gray picked up the win despite allowing the tying run to score in the top of the seventh inning.

Game two didn’t go nearly as well as Shawn Kohn was shelled.  He gave up four runs in 2 1/3 innings.  J.D. Closser went three for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs in the 10-4 loss.
