Amézaga goes 4-for-4, Leads Lake Monsters to Win
In the 8-2 Vermont win over Reading, the impact of Mario Amézaga was substantial. Amézaga, who finished 5th in the AP in home runs with 38 last year, was 4-4 with a home run, a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Carlos Delgado earned the win to go to 9-6. He allowed 2 runs on 7 hits, with 2 walks and 8 strikeouts in 8 innings of work. The first-place Lake Monsters, at 62-40, now lead their division by 7 games.

Joe Ward, who finished 2nd in the AP in home runs with 51 in 2062, chipped in for Vermont with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 RBI.

"Nervous? No," said Amézaga. "It was my time to shine."
