Shafer Slugs Mounties to 6-4 Win
Behind a fine performance from Danny Shafer, the Moncton Mounties knocked off the Borrego Springs Rams, 6-4. Shafer went 2 for 4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Mounties. Jong-yun Kim earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 5 hits in 3.1 innings. He upped his record to 2-1. The 89-22 Mounties have won 24 games in a row.

Moncton used the timely hitting of Travis Grossman to capture the win. The center fielder socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mounties ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"I feel like we're rolling now," Grossman told the Moncton Times."The dugout is coming alive."
