You have to expect the unexpected any time you head to a professional baseball game, but there was something tangible behind the fact that Outlaw leadoff hitter Steve Boggs hit his first two home runs of the season last night and Reno leadoff man Maurice Cole did the same in a 14-11 win for the Silver Sox at Peccole Park in Nevada last night.

Several Outlaws members talked before the game how the wind was blowing out in the direction of third base and carried fly balls further than usual. That's often the case in Reno, but last night seemed to be another extreme. Daniel Nava's game-tying shot in the eighth inning was a shot to the right-centerfield gap that ended up clearing the fence in dead center.

"It hooked like a golf shot," Nava said. "I knew I hit it hard enough to maybe leave in right field and it jumped over to center."

And never mind that his first home run of the season Friday was also wind aided, struggling Outlaw catcher Ricky Bambino admitted he will take production however he can get it these days.

“I hit it good, but it got a little carry under it” he said. “It felt good to get my first one. I think it just felt good, period, because I’ve been needing something to get me going.”
