Pendergrass 3-for-4 to Light Raiders Fuse
The Reno Raiders downed the Joplin Fireballs, 10-4, at House of Pain. The Raiders were led by Jonathon Pendergrass. Pendergrass went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. With the win, Reno raised its record to 78-58.

The Fireballs had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Raiders going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 24-year old third baseman George Tufts came to the plate. Tufts hit a 2-run home run on a 1-0 fastball from Joplin hurler Raul Capetillo. It was Tufts's 3rd home run of the year.

"It all depends on which version of our team shows up," said Pendergrass. "When we put it all together, I think we're a great team."
