Cranford, Flying Squirrels Get 5-1 Win
The Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Reading Fightin Phils, 5-1, in Eastern League action at FirstEnergy Stadium. Richmond pitcher Jason Cranford had a standout performance. With the loss, Reading sinks to 13-9.

It was an impressive outing from the soft-spoken Cranford, who tallied 8 strikeouts in 8.2 innings and allowed only 6 hits. Cranford, who is tied for 2nd in the EL in innings pitched with 37.1, raised his record to 3-2 on the year with 33 strikeouts.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Richmond skipper Fernando Melendez.
