Oracles Drop Redbirds, 5-2
Starting pitcher Nelson Britt was a major factor in the 5-2 Orlando Oracles triumph over the Louisville Redbirds. In 8 innings, Britt surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. Earning the save was Juan Flores. He's now cashed in 17 of 23 save opportunities.

Orlando left fielder Edward Wilson contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball into center field for a 2-run single. It was his 77th hit of the season and put the Oracles ahead, 4-1.

Britt said his team "played with determination."

The 11th-place Oracles sport a record of 39-70.
