Caterpillars Beat Flash, 6-2
Starting pitcher Kevin Grisham was a major factor in the 6-2 Peoria Caterpillars triumph over the Fairfield Flash. The winner was Grisham. He threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball. The loser was Santos Machain. Earning his 1st save of the year was Martin Mercier.

George Cronin had a big 3-run home run for the Caterpillars in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Peoria leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a changeup from 24-year old left-handed pitcher Santos Machain and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Caterpillars on top, 5-1.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Peoria skipper Leonard Lee.

The Caterpillars bumped their record to 44-38 with this win.
