Rotters Get Past Traverse City, 5-4
Juan Alcantara left his imprint on the 5-4 Riverside win against the Traverse City Bears. Alcantara, who is tied for 6th in the E-AA in total bases with 239, belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. The win was credited to 27-year old left-handed pitcher Mike Heustess in relief. His record improves to 3-3. Jimmy Hunter took the loss. The first-place Rotters, at 80-39, lead the Eastern AA Northern Division by 3 games.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 14th. With one out, Alcantara hit a fastball from Jimmy Hunter for a solo home run. The Rotters, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This was a nice win for us," said Alcantara. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."
