Stars Earn Late 8-7 Win
The Cincinnati Stars weathered a fine game by Washington first baseman Keston Hiura to upend the Hitmen, 8-7, at RFK Stadium. Hiura went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Cincinnati reliever Aaron Ashby picked up the win to move to 3-1. Ian Hamilton suffered the loss. The Stars improved their record to 72-54 with the win over Washington.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of Xavier Edwards to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Edwards, "one at-bat at a time."
