Rams Net 12-6 Win
The Borrego Springs Rams defeated the Plymouth Rockers, 12-6, at Madison Grounds. Borrego Springs right fielder Mike MacPherson had a superb performance. He was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Randy Dietrich closed it out for Borrego Springs, earning his 1st save. Borrego Springs is now 38-33.

Borrego Springs used a clutch at-bat from David Wagner to capture the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Rams ahead, 7-4. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said MacPherson. "You've got to get results."
