Propper Helps Super Troopers Defeat Cyclones, 9-1
The Santa Barbara Super Troopers thumped the Mt. Vernon Cyclones, 9-1, at Mt. Vernon Grounds. Eric Propper was a big reason his team got the win. Propper went 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 5. John Wesson, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 9 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 1. Santa Barbara, at 76-43, sits in first place in the Sub League 2 Central Division.

With Santa Barbara leading 5-1 in the top of the sixth, Propper came up to bat against Mt. Vernon pitcher Jose Melendez. Propper hit a fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 24th home run of the season put the Super Troopers on top, 9-1.

"They took it to us," said Mt. Vernon manager Tom Whiting.
