Generals Tagged with 8-5 Loss
Ismael Esparza did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Rome Generals from being beaten, 8-5, to the Cairo Pharaohs at Pharaohs Ballpark. Esparza was 2-2 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Cairo reliever Pete Martin was the winner. His record is now 3-3. John Collier took the loss. Joe Madden notched his 2nd save of the season.

Francisco Pereira had a big 3-run home run for the Pharaohs in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Cairo leading 5-2 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from 30-year old right-handed pitcher Kareef Gamal and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Pharaohs on top, 8-2.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Pereira told the Cairo Gazette. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."

The loss makes Rome 19-19.
