The first-place Palm Springs Heat took on the Westwood Bruins in front of a spirited crowd.

Led by Eric Milbrandt, the Palm Springs Heat downed the Westwood Bruins, 10-3. Milbrandt went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Heat. Mike Parker got the win, improving to 10-5. He worked 7 innings, giving up 3 runs on 9 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 1.

T.J. Cray had a big 3-run home run for the Heat in the bottom of the third inning. With Palm Springs leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a curveball from 35-year old right-handed pitcher Jonathan Marich and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Heat on top, 5-1.

"We hit the ball hard," said Palm Springs manager Rogelio Sanchez. "Line drive after line drive."

The first-place Heat, at 86-45, now lead their division by 8 games.
