The Bombers returned home tonight for the first of a four game home stand against the East Texas Pump Jacks. The Bombers received a nice performance all around especially from Brannon Easterling and Brad Porras.

The Bombers offense started early tonight. Center fielder Chris Florack started it off by drawing a walk. Catcher Myles Parma also drew a walk that moved Florack to second. First baseman James Wharton would reach first after an error by the Pump Jack shortstop. With the bases loaded, Third baseman Brennyn Smith would line a single that would plate Florack for the first run. Two batters later, Designated Hitter Brad Porras would line a double that would bring Parma, Wharton and Smith to the plate to make it 4-0 Bombers. Porras would drive in another run in the third inning when he hit another double that scored Brandon Wood who had gotten on base by drawing a walk. In the fifth inning, Smith would line a double and then come home on a ball hit by Left fielder Brandon Wood that allowed Wood to move to second after another error by the Pump Jack shortstop. Porras would pick up his fifth RBI of the night when he followed Wood and hit a single scoring Wood to make the score 7-1 at that point. For his performance tonight, Brad Porras was named the H&R Block Never Settle For Less Player of the Game.
