Hammers Rack Up 6-4 Win Versus Delmarva
The Delmarva Shorebirds could not turn a fine performance from pitcher José Bustamante into a win. Instead, the Rome Hammers prevailed, 6-4. Bustamante threw 5.0 innings of 2-hit ball. Stephen Millar, who is tied for 2nd in the SAL in innings pitched with 201.1, was the winning pitcher. Over 8.2 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, with 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. Rome has now won 6 games in a row.

Luis García had a big 3-run home run for the Hammers in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Rome leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from Chris Love and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 1st home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Hammers ahead, 6-0.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Rome manager Aaron Holbert.
