The Whitby Bats handed the Borrego Springs Rams a 6-4 defeat at Club Circle Park. Left Fielder John Austin starred for Whitby. He went 3-4 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Eric Torelli closed out the game, earning his 1st save. The Bats boast a remarkable 58-14 record.

Whitby used a clutch hit from Randy Ruhl to get the win. The third baseman drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bats ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a doozy.

Whitby manager David Sawyers praised his team's "businesslike approach."
