Black Bears Get 13-8 Win Versus Tri-City
Thanks in large part to right fielder Joe Calderón, the West Virginia Black Bears beat the Tri-City ValleyCats, 13-8. Calderón was 3-5 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winner was West Virginia reliever Artie Jones, now 1-1. The loser was Stu Hewer. Ken Webb notched his 2nd save in 2 chances.

Reggie McClain threw 3.0 innings allowing 6 runs for West Virginia. The 21-year old right-handed pitcher had a key at-bat in the top of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Stu Hewer. It was his 2nd RBI of the season.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said McClain.

West Virginia now sits at 32-43, while Tri-City falls to 35-40.
