Torpedoes Win at Borrego Springs, 4-3
Long Island beat Borrego Springs at Club Circle Park, eking out a 4-3 win. The triumph was primarily due to first baseman Rodolfo Vega. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. Long Island pitcher David Ruano earned the win, hiking his record to 5-7. Shuzo Kimura suffered the loss. The setback makes Borrego Springs 70-40.

Long Island used a clutch at-bat from Matt Andrews to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Torpedoes ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Borrego Springs manager Rob Kearney said, following the tough loss.
