Bats Squeeze By Borrego Springs, 9-8
The inspired effort of Borrego Springs designated hitter Cesar Gomez was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-8, to the Whitby Bats. Gomez was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Tommy Bender came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 4-0. Whitby is now 69-35, while Borrego Springs is 66-38.

Whitby used a clutch hit from Mike Harris to capture the win. The pinch hitter belted a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bats up, 9-7. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was well-timed.

In comments to the Whitby Daily, Harris admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
