Bards Suffer 7-5 Setback
The Derry Maidens overcame a fine performance by Belfast third baseman Rhys Dowell to defeat the Bards, 7-5, at Bards Park. Dowell was 3-3 with 3 singles and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Picking up the win was Lee Styles. He went 9 innings, allowing 5 runs on 13 hits. The right--hander struck out 3 and walked 2. The Maidens, at 21-31, sit in last place in the All-Team Circuit Sraith Daorchluiche na hEireann.

Derry used the timely hitting of Mario Franco to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Maidens on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Franco told the Derry Chronicle.
