Jake Campbell, who is tied for 5th in the APP with a 2.10 ERA, propelled his team to victory over the Burlington Royals. The final score was 4-3, Bluefield. Campbell picked up the win for Bluefield, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 6-2. Jake Cook finished the game for Bluefield and earned his 14th save.

Loren Allen had a big 2-run double for the Blue Jays in the bottom of the third inning. With Bluefield leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Dave Smith and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blue Jays ahead, 3-0.

"Jake executed his pitches at a high level," said Bluefield manager Jose Mejia.

After today's action, Bluefield sits at 38-28; Burlington slips to 40-26.
