Win Streak Now at 8 for Rams
Borrego Springs pitcher Mike Pistorio had a large part in his team beating the Long Island Torpedoes, 3-0. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Pistorio, the winner, moves to 3-0. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 1 and giving up 1 walk. Greg Gregor nailed down his 1st save.

The Torpedoes had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Rams going into the top of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old left fielder Steve Valkenburg came to the plate. Valkenburg hit a 2-run home run on a 3-0 fastball from Long Island hurler Steve Quintero. It was Valkenburg's 15th home run of the year.

"We're playing hard," said Pistorio, "and we're playing to win."

The second-place Rams have won 8 in a row.
