Finally, a win

The Pirates got another great start from Charlie Morton and this time they scored. Just to make sure Charlie went one inning longer and gave up 0 runs rather than 1.

Garrett Jones had a great game with 4 hits. Walker and Ludwig, our RBI guys, each had at least one RBI. Alvarez had one too, but it came on a bases loaded walk.

Even better news is that State College hit well. Everyone on their team got at least one hit as they scored 14. Alex Dickerson hit a 3 run homer in the 9th to cap his 3 hit 4 RBI day. Ryan Hafner pitched great, and got the win. In Rookie League ball Luis Heredia got his first win pitching 3 good innings.

The Pirates did gain a half game, and the Reds lost so they leap them. The Pirates need to keep it going if they have any prayer of catching up on the Brewers.
