Rotters Jolt Razor Sharks, 7-5, with Late Rally
Riverside and Mesa duked it out and the Rotters came out victorious.

The Mesa Razor Sharks could not turn a fine performance from pitcher John Sherline into a win. Instead, the Riverside Rotters prevailed, 7-5. Sherline threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Kurt Neal picked up the win in relief for Riverside, while Victor Benavidez took the loss. Ryan Butler collected his 2nd save.

Riverside needed the clutch hitting of Bob Ontiveros to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Rotters on top, 7-5. For the game, Ontiveros had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Say want you want about this team, they play nine innings hard," said Riverside manager Hermenegildo Fernando.

The loss lowers the Mesa record to 5-5.
