Thrilling Victory Pushes Heat Win Streak to 8
The Quebec Aces got a sterling performance from pitcher Nate Briceno, but the Palm Springs Heat still prevailed, 6-3. Briceno threw 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball. Palm Springs pitcher Colin Esser got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Steve Bueno got the loss. Nick Calvache got the save, the 1st for him this season.

Brian Roberts came through with a big-time hit for Palm Springs. The left fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Roberts.

The Heat, now 8-1, have been playing some good baseball.
