Storm Jolt Tropics, 6-3, with Late Rally
The Lake Elsinore Storm beat the White Deer Tropics, 6-3, at Ballpark of White Deer. The Storm got a fine performance from designated hitter Darius Taylor, who went 1 for 1 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Bob Paterson claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. His record stands at 1-1. Willie Lopez earned the save for Lake Elsinore, his 3rd.

It could have been a different outcome for Lake Elsinore, had it not been for Erik Murphy, the 21-year old catcher . Murphy contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Lake Elsinore up, 4-3.

"Nice to get this one," said Taylor. "We've been scuffling."

The Storm move to 21-70 with the win.
