The Catfish needed just three games to dispatch West Virginia and once again it was the pitching that got it done.  Jeremy Hellickson threw three shutout frames in his start and then Wilton Noel picked up the win with three shutout frames of his own.  In total, five pitchers held the heavy hitting Power to four hits in the combined shutout.

Ryan Royster was the hitting star with a double and a three run homer.  John Matulia singled, doubled and scored twice while both Cesar Suarez and Matthew Fields both went yard in the 6-0 win.

The Catfish came from behind to beat Rome 6-5 with Cesar Suarez getting the big hit.  He tripled and drove in three runs.  John Matulia went two for four and he scored two runs.

Wilton Noel picked up the win with 3 2/3 innings of solid relief.  He gave up just one hit and he struck out three without giving up a run.
