DeFelice Field on Wednesday afternoon.' The win improves the Tars'
record to 26-29, and the Skyhawks dropped to 21-24.

Pardo was the only Skyhawks batter with more than one hit, as he
finished the day 2-4.

fourth.' He then singled home a run in the fifth, junior center
fielder Corey Whiting drove in one in the sixth, Luker drove in one
