Stars Fall, 5-4, to Padilla, Crawdads
The New Orleans Crawdads and Virginia Beach Stars obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

The 5-4 New Orleans win over Virginia Beach was due largely to Carlos Padilla. The Crawdads left fielder was 3-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The last-place Crawdads improved to 68-90.

With New Orleans leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Padilla hit a fastball from Michael Villiers for a 2-run home run. It was his 12th home run of the season and put the Crawdads ahead, 3-0.

In comments to the New Orleans Chronicle, Padilla admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
