Hagerstown, MD - The Hagerstown Suns (63-45/21-18) committed four costly errors over the first two inning against the West Virginia Power (45-64/22-17) resulting in a 4-2 loss at Appalachian Power Park on Tuesday night. All four Power runs were unearned.

Suns starter Taylor Jordan (0-1) suffered the loss pitching five innings while giving up four unearned runs on four hits, one walk and two strike outs. Centerfielder J.R. Higley belted a two-run homer in the seventh inning, his first of the season, to cut West Virginia's lead in half but that is as close as the Suns would get.
