The Jonesboro Growlers scored a convincing win at Spirit Communications Park, defeating the Columbia Fireflies, 11-1.

He's now 6-6. The loser was Donald Weatherbee. The loss makes Columbia 55-77.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Rife hit a solo home run off Donald Weatherbee. It propelled the Growlers into the lead, 2-1.
