The rain made it unbearable at times; nonetheless, the faithful who endured the elements enjoyed themselves.

The Richmond Black Rifles did just enough to secure a victory over the Memphis Bears, 4-3, at Black Rifles Ballpark. Nobody did more than pitcher John Tate. Tate got the win, improving to 6-6. He allowed 5 hits and walked 1 over 9 innings. Tate allowed 3 runs.

Oliver Rider hit a 2-run triple off Howard Cook in the bottom of the eighth, which put the Black Rifles in front, 4-3. Rider had 1 single, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 2 for 4.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Memphis manager Garvin Mays. "But we decided not to take it."

Richmond, with the win, sits at 14-31.
