Kidd Now 1-0 After Beating Sand Gnats
The Rome Hammers picked up a win at State Mutual Stadium, dropping the Savannah Sand Gnats, 3-1. Joe Kidd was the difference-maker. Lou Riley collected his 3rd save. The win gives Rome a record of 5-5.

Kidd, who dominated for Rome, earned the victory to move to 1-0. He was in control the whole game, scattering 5 hits over 8 innings, while striking out 6. Savannah batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.

"All my pitches were working," said Kidd. "They were all synchronized together in attacking the zone."
