PROSPECT LEAGUE

BECKLEY, W.Va. — Travis Isaak had two hits and drove in four runs to power the West Virginia Miners to a 7-4 triumph over the visiting Butler Blue Sox in Prospect League baseball Friday.

The Miners (11-9) jumped out to a 4-0 first-inning lead before the Blue Sox countered with three runs in the top of the fourth.

West Virginia, however, plated three more runs in the bottom of the seventh to take control.

The Miners' Andrew Smith struck out four and didn't walk a batter in seven innings to pick up the win.

BlueSox starter Ben Ballantine struck out nine batters over six innings, but he was charged with the loss.

Zach Duggan went 3-for-3 with a pair of doubles and an RBI, John Sulzicki had two hits, and Colby Roberts added two RBI for Butler (8-11).
