Cougars Sink Mermen, 3-1
Rohnert Park turned a good performance from starting pitcher Gerardo Carrion into a 3-1 triumph over the Corpus Christi Mermen at Ballpark of Greenup. The winning pitcher was Carrion, now 4-4. He tossed 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 7. The Mermen, at 44-40, have lost 5 straight games.

With scoring opportunities rare, the Cougars had to cash in when they had the chance. One such opportunity presented itself in the bottom of the fifth, when center fielder Luis Casanova hit a run-scoring single. The single came off Ben Whitman and made the score 3-1, Cougars. Casanova was 2 for 4 with 2 singles.

"Makes our job easier," said Casanova, "when our pitchers shut the opposition down."
