Rojas Powers Emeralds to 9-3 Win
Alex Rojas was a major factor in the 9-3 Seattle win over Chicago. The Emeralds right fielder was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Pat Burkholder, who finished 2nd in the NBL in ERA with 2.16 in 1966, was the winning pitcher. Over 8 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. The Hawks, at 4-12, have stumbled out of the gate.

In the top of the seventh, the Emeralds grabbed the lead when Rojas hit his 2nd home run of the season. The 3-run home run off Mike Haskett made it 6-3, Seattle.

Seattle manager Mark Velez was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.
