Ruiz Swings Bruins to 14-9 Win
The Westwood Bruins beat the Ann Arbor Z's, 14-9, at Knights Ballpark. The win was due in part to designated hitter Rich Ruiz, who slugged 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 6. Westwood reliever Jim Schisler picked up the win, upping his record to 1-1. Jose Mendoza absorbed the loss. The third-place Bruins are 38-32.

Westwood used the timely hitting of Dale Day to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bruins on top, 10-9. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It feels good to get this one," Day told the Westwood News.
