Desperados Raise Rally Flag, Beat Huntsville, 4-2
Starting pitcher Bill Blom took care of business, helping the Santa Rosa Desperados stifle the Huntsville Rockets, 4-2. Picking up the save was Chris Erickson. He's now 10 for 13 in save chances. The Desperados saw their win-loss record go to 57-68. At the same time, the Rockets fell to 76-49.

Santa Rosa needed the clutch hitting of Bill Rys to seal the deal. The first baseman swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Desperados on top, 3-2. For the game, Rys had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Rys said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
