Heat Handle Quebec, Snag 6-2 Win
Dustin Roachell powered the Palm Springs Heat to a win over the Quebec Fighting Quakers. The final score was 6-2. The Palm Springs first baseman was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. Colin Esser earned the save for Palm Springs, his 1st of the year. Palm Springs is now 22-15.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for T.J. Cray? The Palm Springs designated hitter had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Heat on top, 2-0. For the game, Cray had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Roachell told the Palm Springs News.
