Rays Reel In 7-3 Win
Spirited fans greeted the Danville Braves for their clash with the Princeton Rays.

The Princeton Rays topped the Danville Braves by a score of 7-3. Leading the way was catcher David Buckner. Buckner was 2 for 3 with 2 singles, 2 walks, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs for the Rays. Princeton has now won 5 games in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ryan Sassoon? The Princeton third baseman had a run-scoring walk in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rays on top, 5-2. For the game, Sassoon had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"Winning is the only objective," said Buckner after the game.
