Railbirds Deal Crop Circles 3-2 Loss
Schuylkill Landing Park was the site of a tense game between the Iowa Crop Circles and Reading Railbirds.

The Reading Railbirds did just enough to secure a victory over the Iowa Crop Circles, 3-2, in 10 innings at Schuylkill Landing Park. Nobody did more than pitcher José Méndez. The win went to Ed Leibnitz in relief, making him now 3-0. Roberto Mendoza took the loss for Iowa.

The Railbirds got a clutch hit from designated hitter Dave Rouse. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Railbirds.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Rouse.

Reading has won 3 straight, while Iowa has lost 3 in a row.
