Memphis 5-2 Victors at The Temple
The rain came, as predicted, but the Memphis Catfish and New Orleans Jazz were able to complete their ballgame.

The Memphis Catfish defeated the New Orleans Jazz, 5-2, in part because of second baseman Oliver Ruíz. Ruíz belted 2 home runs for the Catfish. Jon Hodges, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 2nd save.

Memphis used the hitting of Ricardo Martínez to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Catfish on top, 2-0. For the game, Martínez had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Nervous? No," said Ruíz. "It was my time to shine."

New Orleans, with the loss, is still a stout 5-2.
