Santa Barbara Stopped, 7-6, by Newport News
Santa Barbara right fielder Luis Ortega had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 7-6, to Newport News at Wranglers Stadium. Ortega was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Newport News reliever Bobby Hembise picked up the win to move to 3-0. Brad Porter suffered the loss. Jonathan Aubry locked down his 7th save.

Had Matt Spradling not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Spradling hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Wranglers.

"Enjoyed this one," Spradling told the Newport News News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The second-place Wranglers have won 5 in a row.
