Snider Hits Two Dingers, Blue Rocks Win, 7-6
Dan Snider made an impact in the 7-6 Wilmington win over Carolina. Snider, who leads the CAR in stolen bases with 29, went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 4. Lou McKee earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. Steve Brown, credited with the save, is now 11 for 12 in save opportunities.

Snider had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-2 fastball from Rudy Thomas, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Blue Rocks a 7-6 lead. It was the 10th home run of the year for Snider.

"If it's down the middle," said Snider, "you might as well hit it."

With the win, the Blue Rocks have a record of 48-44.
