Flight Rack Up 5-3 Win Versus Buckeye Local
Bill Castro had a strong outing for the San Bernardino Flight against the Buckeye Local Panthers at Cincinnati Grounds. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 5-3 win. The Flight now have a record of 52-67 with the win over Buckeye Local.

Noah Valenti had a big run-scoring double for the Flight in the top of the sixth inning. With San Bernardino leading 3-2 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from 17-year old right-handed pitcher Alberto Sanchez and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Flight ahead, 4-2.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Flight," said Castro.
