Lou Merloni and Brant Colamarino combined to drive in all seven runs for the River Cats as they dispatched the PCL champion Richmond Braves to win the Bricktown Showdown.  Merloni went two for five with a homerun and four RBIs while Colamarino went three for five with a homerun and three RBIs.

Shane Komine didn’t finish the second inning and he came out after an injury and Kazuhito Tadano took over from there to pick up the win.  He gave up one run on three hits with four strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.
