Rivas Helps Borrego Springs Outscore Moncton
In the 17-13 Borrego Springs win over Moncton, the impact of Alberto Rivas was substantial. Rivas, who is tied for 6th in the NC in total bases with 263, was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5. Jesus Ortiz earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 6-2. Borrego Springs is now 89-23, 15 games up in the Northern Conference West Division.

With Borrego Springs leading 14-13 in the bottom of the sixth, Rivas hit a 2-run single off Moncton hurler Joel Cogswell. It was the 149th hit of the season for Rivas and put his team ahead, 16-13.

Moncton manager Johnny Hoffman expressed his frustration after the game: "That many runs and it still wasn't enough?"
