Meteors Suffer 9-7 Setback
The inspired effort of Sudbury center fielder Guy Rolland was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-7, to the Hamilton Hammers. Rolland was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Mike Loder, the winning pitcher, improved to 22-10. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 12 hits and 7 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2. Matt Sparkes earned the save, his 1st in 1 tries.

Mark Whelan provided a timely hit. The Hamilton center fielder delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Hammers on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

Whelan told a local reporter: "My job is to go out and play as hard as I can."

With the win, the Hammers improved to 57-47.
