Rockets Cut Down Desperados, 6-4
The Huntsville Rockets topped the Santa Rosa Desperados by a score of 6-4. Leading the way was first baseman John Lucia. Lucia went 2 for 3 with a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Rockets. Danny Orfila, 4-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings. Jimmy Lyles closed the game out for Huntsville, earning his 18th save.

Lucia had a game-changing double in the bottom of the seventh. On a 0-2 curveball from Zack Vandermark, he banged a run-scoring double to right-center, giving the Rockets a 5-4 lead. It was the 24th double of the year for Lucia.

Huntsville manager Alec Roller called it "a good, solid win."

The Rockets, at 64-49, lead by one game in their division.
