It was the second triple in two days for Sanguinetti who now leads the team. Richmond added a pair of runs in the fourth to increase the lead to 3-0. Joe Rhomberg and Justus Kimbrough each had RBI hits in the inning.
The Paints got an unearned run in the sixth, but Mike Bidwell trumped it in the seventh with solo homer to left field that made it a 4-1 ballgame.
