Super Troopers Earn 8-5 Home Win
The Santa Barbara Super Troopers grabbed a win, 8-5, over the Montgomery Missions at Car Ramrod Park. Santa Barbara shortstop Ruben Vences belted 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. John Robertson, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 4.1 innings. Steve Albrecht was called on to finish, recording his 4th save.

The Missions had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Super Troopers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 19-year old third baseman Chris Cantu came to the plate. Cantu hit a run-scoring double on a 0-1 slider from Montgomery hurler Willie Gonzales. It was Cantu's 1st double of the year.

"If we play well, we'll win our share of games," said Cantu. "The only team that can beat us is us."

It was the 9th win in 14 games this year for the defending champion Super Troopers, who are picking up where they left off.
