6 Straight Wins for Bowsers
The Columbus Bowsers defeated the Mexico City Aztecs by the score of 8-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder Carlos Malabranca. Malabranca was 2 for 3 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Bowsers on the day. Rey Tovar earned the win for Columbus. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 2-2. Columbus has now won 6 in a row.

Malabranca had a key at-bat for Columbus in the bottom of the second. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and gave Columbus an early 3-1 lead.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Malabranca.
