Streaking Blue Rocks Win Another One, 6-4
The Wilmington Blue Rocks overcame a good performance by Fredericksburg first baseman Aaron O'Rourke to knock off Fredericksburg, 6-4, at G. Richard Pfitzner Stadium. O'Rourke went 2-5 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. José Ortega recorded the save, his 7th. The second-place Blue Rocks have won 6 straight games.

Wilmington used a well-timed hit by Kody Huff to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Blue Rocks ahead, 5-1. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Huff told the Wilmington Daily News. "It's as simple as that."
