Super Troopers Net 8-6 Win
Santa Barbara Super Troopers starter Curtis Spears pitched a strong game against the Wichita Panthers at Panthers Park, leading the Super Troopers to victory, 8-6. Spears, the winner, moves to 4-1. He threw 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 9 and giving up 1 walk. The save was credited to Steve Albrecht, his 5th.

Santa Barbara used a clutch at-bat from Jose Martinez to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Super Troopers ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Another day, another win. On to the next one," Martinez told the Santa Barbara Observer.

At 25-6, the Super Troopers are currently first in the Sub League 2 Central Division.
