Homers power Bulls to series win over Toledo

Highlights: Bulls vs Toledo 5/16/08 (Provided by Durham Bulls)

The Bulls slugged four balls over the fence Friday at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, including two off the bat of Joel Guzman, to defeat the Toledo Mud Hens, 9-3, taking three games out of the four-game series.

Guzman drove in three of the Bulls' runs via two solo home runs and a single in four trips to the plate. Chris Richard drove in three with a three-run home run off of losing pitcher Virgil Vasquez (2-4, 7.08). Richard also doubled and scored two in four at-bats, and Jeremy Owens hit his third home run of the year.

Mitch Talbot (4-3, 4.47) earned the win with six innings of work, allowing three runs on five hits, three walks and a home run while striking out four.

The Bulls will play host to the Charlotte Knights Saturday at 5:05 p.m. at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Right-hander Ben Hendrickson (3-2, 2.41) will take the mound for Durham, and righty Tomo Ohka (0-6, 5.82) is scheduled to start for Charlotte.
