The Abilene Preachers blasted the Wichita Falls Yardmen, 15-5. Louie Rushton was one of the hitting stars. He went 3-4 with 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for Abilene. The winner was Riley Cobb, who threw 146 pitches over 8 innings. The left-hander was charged with 5 runs on 7 hits. The Preachers now have a record of 33-20.

Abilene took a 6-5 lead on Roberto Castro's 6th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Castro hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Wichita Falls pitcher Abhikhyana Vipperla shaking his head.

"It feels good to get this one," Castro told the Abilene Chronicle.
