Yard Goats Snatch Late-Game, 3-2 Win
Hartford left-hander Jonathan Lopez helped his team edge Reading by the score of 3-2. Lopez kept the opposing lineup in check. Hartford reliever Nate Jeffries picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Victor Gonzales absorbed the loss. The defending champion Yard Goats have struggled a bit to find their groove this season, but improve to 7-7 with the win.

Had Franklin Perez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Perez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Yard Goats.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" Hartford manager Jerry Jones said.
