Commodores Dump Cheesepressers, 7-2
The Norfolk Commodores reigned over the Toledo Cheesepressers in damp conditions at Velveeta Field.

Norfolk starter Sam Soulie had a strong outing against the Toledo Cheesepressers at Velveeta Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 7-2 win. Soulie got the win, improving to 5-2. He allowed 9 hits and walked 0 over 8.1 innings. Soulie allowed 2 earned runs. Mike Perkins got the save, the 12th for him this season.

Early in the game, first baseman Chris Bedford had a 2-run double for Norfolk. It was his 11th double of the season and put the Commodores on top, 3-1.

"We'll savor this win," Bedford told the Norfolk Herald, "then get ready for the next game."

Norfolk is now 27-30, Toledo 42-15.
