New Orleans Zephyrs 8 Oklahoma City RedHawks 0
Oklahoma City got shut out at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark on Saturday.  The opposition only scored in 2 innings, but without any RedHawks offense, it was too much.  Armando Galarraga moved to 2-2 after picking up the loss.  Galarraga allowed 5 runs in the 2nd inning and struck out 3.  Jonnathan Aristil came on for the final two frames and only allowed a hit and struck out 2.

Player of the Day: Ryan Dineen gets the honor today for going 1 for 1 at the plate and drawing 4 walks.  Good eye, Dineen.

Pitcher of the Day: Aaron West gets the nod for throwing 6 strong innings on Saturday.  He gave up a run on 3 hits, but who cares when your team scores 11 in route to their 5th win a row?
