Blackbirds Tagged with 8-5 Loss
The D.C. Potomacs topped the Erie Blackbirds, 8-5, with designated hitter David Dellucci playing a big role. Dellucci was 2-4 with 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2 for the Potomacs in the win. The current losing streak for Erie has reached 4 games.

Wayne Cage had a big 2-run double for the Potomacs in the bottom of the fifth inning. With D.C. leading 4-3 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from George Winter and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 5th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Potomacs ahead, 6-3.

"I like winning," Dellucci told the D.C. Daily News. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
