Santa Barbara Rallies to 7-5 Win
The Santa Barbara Super Troopers beat the Ontario Sunrays by a score of 7-5. Santa Barbara first baseman Reed Gomez deserved the lion's share of the credit. Gomez was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 2 times for the Super Troopers. Armando Rendon picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 5-0. Angel Silva suffered the loss. J.J. Mendenhall earned the save for Santa Barbara, his 14th of the year.

Had Dave Puskas not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Puskas hit a 2-run single. That made the score 7-5, in favor of the Super Troopers.

When asked about his performance after the game, Puskas said: "Like everyone else, I'm just doing my job."

Santa Barbara occupies first place in the Sub League 2 Central Division at 80-44.
