The Pulaski Yankees beat the Bristol Pirates by a score of 8-4. Pulaski first baseman Pete McDonald deserved the lion's share of the credit. McDonald was 1-2 with a home run, a walk, and was hit 2 times. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Yankees. The winning pitcher was Greg Saunders. He tossed 135 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits. Pulaski has run its win streak to 6 consecutive.

With Pulaski leading 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth, McDonald came up to bat against Bristol pitcher José Mota. McDonald hit a fastball to left-center for a grand slam home run. His 7th home run of the season put the Yankees on top, 8-0.

"Winning is contagious," said McDonald. "We're looking forward to the next game."
