Super Volcano Lose to Blue Rocks, 4-1
The Wilmington Blue Rocks downed the Yellowstone Super Volcano, 4-1, at Beavers Park. Stellar pitching by Matt DiCicco had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 5th in the AL in ERA with 3.32 last year, handcuffed his opponent all game. The winner was DiCicco. He threw 6.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The loser was Bill Dodson. Yellowstone now is 11-17.

Marco Estrada had a big 2-run home run for the Blue Rocks in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Wilmington leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from Bill Dodson, who is the 6th-best prospect in the Super Volcano organization, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Blue Rocks on top, 4-1.

"You want to go out there and put up zeroes, that's the main thing," said DiCicco. "You don't want to get caught in one of those back-and-forth, run-for-run games."
