Vasquez Helps Reading Bombard New Britain
Due in large part to catcher Randy Vasquez, the Reading Fightin Phils sunk the New Britain Rock Cats, 14-4. Vasquez was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Reading reliever Bob Nelson picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Milo Sykes absorbed the loss. The Fightin Phils bumped their record to 57-43 with this win.

With Reading leading 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Vasquez came up to bat against New Britain pitcher Ed Hall. Vasquez hit a slider to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 4th home run of the season put the Fightin Phils on top, 8-3.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Vasquez told the Reading Herald.
