Ruhl Blasts Rams, Bats Take Game 5, 8-3
Whitby third baseman Randy Ruhl was the key at Club Circle Park, as he powered the Bats to victory in a critical Game 5 of the Division Series. The Bats took the 8-3 win over the Borrego Springs Rams to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Ruhl got the Bats off to a quick start. In the top of the first, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he hit a 2-run single.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Whitby manager David Sawyers.

Game 6 is scheduled for Thursday at Eláguila Stadia in Whitby.
