Wichita Falls Yardmen (53-43) 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 7 3
Abilene Preachers (57-39) 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 0 X 3 7 4
Preachers Improve to 57-39 with 3-2 Win
The Abilene Preachers picked up a win at Preachers Park, courtesy of Riley Cobb. The left-hander helped his team stop the Wichita Falls Yardmen, 3-2. Abilene improves to 57-39 with the win. They lead their division by 4 games.

Had Felipe Marando not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Marando hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Preachers.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Wichita Falls manager Wes Fisler.
