Rams Get 7-4 Win Versus Franklin
The Borrego Springs Rams defeated the Franklin Cubs, 7-4, in part because of catcher Christian Weatherspoon. Weatherspoon was 1-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Rams. Mario Perez claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 6 hits in 2.2 innings. His record stands at 4-0. The save went to Danny Villanueva, his 18th this season.

Weatherspoon contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Borrego Springs in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 2-1, Weatherspoon took a fastball from Jim Unknown and stroked the home run to center. His 32nd home run of the season allowed the Rams to leap in front, 3-2.

"It's good to win," Weatherspoon told the Borrego Springs Observer. "I like to have fun doing it."

Borrego Springs is now 91-24, while Franklin is 54-61.
