The performance of Mark Goree proved critical in helping Richmond beat Reading, 13-5. The Flying Squirrels second baseman went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 4 runs and drove in 2. Justin Paglione, credited with the win, is now 7-3. He allowed 5 runs on 11 hits in 9 innings. Richmond, at 59-35, sits in first place in the Northern Division.

The Flying Squirrels got a big hit from shortstop Ryan McClure. Facing Reading pitcher Jose Espinoza in the bottom of the fifth, McClure pounded a 2-run double to left-center. His 36th double of the season put the Flying Squirrels ahead, 6-3.

"Don't let his youth fool you," said Flying Squirrels manager Fernando Melendez. "Mark knows what he's doing out there."
