Zachary Murray was dominate on the bump as he tossed seven innings in route to his fourth win of the season as the Williamsport Crosscutters defeated the West Virginia Black Bears 4-2 on Thursday night to sweep the series at Wagener Field.
Murray threw for 116 pitches over seven innings in the outing, allowing two runs, one earned, on just four hits with two walks and six strikeouts.

Brett Thomas and Jimmy Romano combined to go the final two innings out of the bullpen, throwing a shutout with just one hit allowed by Romano. Thomas earned his first hold of the season while Romano earned his third save.
Max Mandler led the way offensively, going 2-3 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored. McGwire Holdbrook recorded his first home run in a Williamsport uniform, a three-run 400 ft. shot that ended up being the winning swing for the Cutters.
