Super Troopers Squeeze By Anaheim, 5-4
The Anaheim Music got a sterling performance from pitcher Jesus Gonzalez, but the Santa Barbara Super Troopers still prevailed, 5-4. Gonzalez threw 5.2 innings allowing 1 run. J.J. Mendenhall earned the save for Santa Barbara, his 3rd of the year. With the victory, the Super Troopers record stands at 51-31.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Ruben Vences? The 19-year old shortstop Vences stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put Santa Barbara up, 5-4. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Santa Barbara manager Tyler Haskin.
