Heat Deal Bruins 5-3 Loss
Heat left fielder Brian Roberts left his mark on his team's 5-3 win over the Westwood Bruins. Roberts, who is tied for 8th in the StC in RBI with 42, went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Palm Springs in the contest. Ross Lefkowitz earned the save for Palm Springs, his 17th of the year. The last-place Heat are now 36-50, the Bruins 43-43.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Heat left fielder Chris Epstein hit a splitter from Scott Staffieri for a 2-run single. Just like that, Palm Springs was up, 4-3.

Epstein attributed the win to his team's "hyper resolve."
