Bears Get Past Richmond, 2-1
Wild Dan Johnston pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Richmond Black Rifles, despite Johnston's fine outing, dropped a 2-1 decision to the Memphis Bears at Bears Ballpark. Willie Howard got credit for the win, improving to 4-5. He allowed 1 run on 5 hits in 8 innings. The Bears sport a record of 33-51.

Had James Watkins not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Watkins hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Bears.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Watkins said.
