Steve Taylor batted in 3 runs to lead Rohnert Park to a win over Boise. The final score was 8-3. Taylor chipped in 3 singles and 1 home run. Joe Russell got credit for the win, improving to 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 6 innings. Rohnert Park sits at 5-8 in the early going.

Tied up with the Dread Kings in the top of the fourth inning, the Cougars got a boost from catcher Eduardo Lopez. With runners on 1st and 2nd, Lopez saw a 0-1 fastball from Pat Higginbotham and hit a run-scoring single to break the stalemate and put Rohnert Park on top, 1-0.

In comments to the Rohnert Park Chronicle, Taylor admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
