(Eastlake, Ohio)--- Catcher Angel Salome had a bases clearing double in the top of the sixth inning, and Charlie Fermaint smashed a solo homerun in the eighth to seal a 5-3 win for the West Virginia Power over the Lake County Captains Friday night at Classic Park.

With the score 3-1 in the top of the sixth West Virginia (33-32,58-77) loaded the bases on two singles by William Lewis and Hasan Rasheed, and a hit-by-pitch.
