Rams Rally Late to Nip Cubs
The Borrego Springs Rams, despite a fine performance by Franklin pitcher Paul Dolezal, grabbed a 3-2 win at Franklin Park. Dolezal allowed 1 run over 6 innings. Vinny Alvarenga, now 6-3, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 1.2 innings. Randy Dietrich recorded his 4th save for Borrego Springs.

Borrego Springs used the timely hitting of Jose Martinez to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rams on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We found a way to get it done," Martinez said.

The Rams improved their record to 72-56 by beating Franklin.
