Dane Sardinha had a career day at the plate in the Mudhens 10-3 blowout win over Richmond.  He belted three homers and drove in seven runs in the game.  Prior to that, Sardinha had hit only four homeruns the entire season so the offensive explosion was somewhat surprising.  Erick Almonte also pitched in with a two run homer, his first long ball since being promoted to Triple A.

Ron Chiavacci picked up the win and he improved to 9-5 on the season.  He gave up two runs on six hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in six innngs of work.
