Flying Squirrels Drop 3-0 Decision
Steve Nelson never let the Flying Squirrels get in a groove. The right-hander used his bread and butter, his sinker, to pitch the Rock Cats to a win, 3-0. New Britain now has a record of 44-33 with the win.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Rock Cats had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when right fielder Jon Crow hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Mike Thompson and made the score 2-0, Rock Cats. Crow went 1 for 3 with a walk.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Nelson.
