Flying Squirrels Solve Fisher Cats, 5-2
The Richmond Flying Squirrels rode a solid performance from 21-year-old starting pitcher Héctor Rivera to a win, beating the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, 5-2, at Senator Thomas J. Dodd Memorial Stadium. Rivera picked up the win for Richmond, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. The win gives the Flying Squirrels a record of 3-1.

Richmond took a 5-2 lead on Jorge Morales's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Morales hit in the bottom of the seventh, left New Hampshire pitcher Dave Sanford visibly frustrated.

Said losing manager Rafael Gil: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
