Texas Downs Pittsburgh, 6-3
The Texas Vipers knocked off the Pittsburgh Ironmen, 6-3, at PNC Park. Nico Hoerner was a big reason Texas won. The second baseman went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Jose Berrios, who finished 5th in the UL in wins with 16 in 2020, was the winning pitcher. Over 5 innings, he allowed 1 run on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. The win makes Texas 13-26, nothing to write home about.

Texas relied on the bat of Joey Loperfido to get the win. The left fielder ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the fourth inning to put the Vipers ahead, 2-1. For the game, Loperfido had 1 double and 1 triple in 3 at-bats.

"Nico was ready to go. Big day for him," said Texas manager Pete Seto.
