Great Effort by Taváres Wasted in 8-6 Border Jumpers Loss
Laredo got a terrific game from second baseman Rafael Taváres. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Iowa, 8-6. Taváres went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The winner was Ricardo Cardenas, who threw 105 pitches over 6.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 10 hits. David Hodge earned his 20th save in 24 chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Barney Nelson? The Iowa first baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put the Crop Circles on top, 3-0. For the game, Nelson had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Nelson told the Iowa Chronicle.

The Crop Circles raised their record to 39-41.
