Rotters Earn 3-1 Win Against Suns
The Riverside Rotters defeated the Aurora Suns, 3-1, in 10 innings in Eastern AA action at Rotters Ballpark. Riverside pitcher Antonio Mendoza had a standout performance. The Eastern AA Northern Division-leading Rotters are 81-39.

Riverside got a knockout punch from Aarto Turkula. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Mendoza told the Riverside Bulletin.
