Newark Bears News Release
NEWARK, NJ, August 7-The Newark Bears lost the rubber game of their three-game series against the Nashua Pride, 6-3, Thursday night at Bears and Eagles Riverfront Stadium. The game was halted in the bottom of the eighth inning because of unplayable field conditions caused by rain.

Jaime Navarro (7-3) pitched all eight innings for the Bears, allowing six runs (five earned) on ten hits. He struck out eight batters and walked one in his second complete game of the season.
Michael Coleman of the Bears was 3-4 at the plate with a solo home run in the fourth inning, his league-lead-tying 19th of the season. Shortstop Juan Lorenzo extended his hitting streak to six consecutive games, going 2-3 for Newark.
Joe Kilburg and Tim Garland both had two hits and a run-batted-in for Nashua. Chris Petersen and Dave Francia chipped in with a pair of hits, as well.
