Loss to Bobcats Extends Palm Springs Losing Streak
Walnut Park got a first-rate effort from pitcher Mike Garst, who frustrated Palm Springs hitters en route to a 2-1 Bobcats triumph at Heat Ballpark. Garst yielded 1 run over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 5-5. Heath Johnston notched his 9th save of the season.

D'Andre Lyons had a critical at-bat with one out in the top of the sixth for Walnut Park. He came through with a solo home run to put Walnut Park in front, 2-0.

"There is no easy way to lose when you're doing everything you can to win games," said Palm Springs manager Rogelio Sanchez.

The Bobcats now have a mark of 56-49.
