Yard Goats Squelch Flying Squirrels Offense in Shutout Win
Hartford Yard Goats pitcher Tom Valko was in top form, leading his team past the Richmond Flying Squirrels, 3-0. Valko, now 4-1, was the winner. In 6 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 2, walking 1, and allowing no runs. Mike Calabro was called on to finish, recording his 5th save.

A crucial at-bat came with the bases empty and no one out in the bottom of the sixth inning. That's when left fielder Bobby Young, who is tied for 8th in the EL in RBI with 44, hit a triple. The Yard Goats went on to win.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Hartford manager Jerry Jones.

The first-place Yard Goats lifted their record to 55-38.
