West Virginia blasts Catfish again

The West Virginia Power (Brewers) are just one win away from sweeping the Columbus Catfish.
Friday night in Charleston, WV, West Virginia … for the third straight game … use a big inning to run away from the Catfish. Friday night’s score was 9-4, and leaves West Virginia poised for a sweep.
Columbus got a pair of RBIs from Gregory Sexton and another one from Maiko Loyola to trail just 5-4 after five innings Friday.
But reliver Justin Garcia gave up four runs in the seventh as the Power pulled away.
Loyola (CF) and 2B Omar Luna each had a pair of hits for the Catfish. Jesse Darcy (4-2) suffered his 2nd loss in his last two decisions.
The last time the two teams met in a series, it was the 2007 South Atlantic League championship. The Catfish swept that in three games. The Catfish must win Saturday night in order to avoid a sweep in this series.
