Tennessee Beats Rocket City, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Tennessee Smokies and the Rocket City Trash Pandas, Nathaniel Card, who is tied for 4th in the SL in complete games with 1, proved to be the difference. The Tennessee left-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Smokies win. The winner was Card. He threw 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Juan Zuniga. The last-place Trash Pandas dropped to 44-82.

Tennessee went up, 3-0, on Hector Ortega's 14th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Ortega hit in the top of the seventh, left Rocket City pitcher Russ Cassell muttering to himself.

"Winning is the only objective," said Ortega after the game.
