Rattlers Lose at Home, 5-2
The Tampa Rattlers could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Jimmy Griffin into a win. Instead, the Wichita Wasps prevailed, 5-2. Griffin threw 8.0 innings of 3-hit ball. With the win, Wichita upped its record to 45-40.

Kevin Goerlitz had a big 2-run home run for the Wasps in the top of the second inning. With Wichita leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Jimmy Griffin, who led the HDL in ERA with 2.60 in 2028, and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Wasps on top, 3-0.

Said losing manager Dick Granade: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."
