Rockets Come Up Short at Santa Rosa, 6-5
Eduardo Garcia was outstanding against Huntsville. The left-hander had a changeup that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Desperados 6-5 win. Garcia, now 1-2, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 2 hits, while striking out 9, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. Jim Hart closed it out for his 4th save.

Making an impact for the home team was Rafael Silva. In the bottom of the fifth, the 23-year old right fielder had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. That made the score 6-0, Desperados.

"Eduardo set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Santa Rosa manager Angel Cano.

With the win, Santa Rosa lifts its record to 11-14.
