Eagles Suffer 5-3 Home Defeat
The game between San Diego and Indianapolis is in the books, despite a little rain.

San Diego Fleet starter Tony Espinoza pitched well against the Indianapolis Eagles at Eagles Stadium, leading his team to a win, 5-3. Brad Antol notched his 19th save of the season.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gabe Howard? The San Diego left fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Fleet on top, 3-1. For the game, Howard had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Some of the guys in here work hard, some of the guys just kind of fall out of bed and get it done. Whatever works I guess, we won this one," Espinoza told the San Diego Observer.

The Fleet, now 74-52, have won 4 in a row.
