Mudcats Defeat Blue Rocks, 5-4
The Carolina Mudcats weathered a fine game by Wilmington second baseman Robby Rothove to upend the Blue Rocks, 5-4, at Grainger Stadium. Rothove went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The first-place Mudcats go to 32-26.

Carolina took a 5-4 lead on Alberto Apaez's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Apaez hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Wilmington pitcher Vinny Nieto visibly frustrated.

Apaez told reporters after the game: "Took some doing, but we got it done."
