Flight Prevail, 7-5, Over Ft. Wayne
Heriberto Paula was instrumental in his team's 7-5 triumph over the Ft. Wayne Earthquakes. The center fielder went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the San Bernardino Flight. Ft. Wayne is 0-3 after the defeat.

San Bernardino went in front, 6-5, on Mike Caudill's 3rd double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Caudill hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Ft. Wayne pitcher Mario Manrique visibly perturbed.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Paula. "But I like how we're playing right now."
