New Rochelle Upended by Walnut Park, 12-8
Jason Clare did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the New Rochelle Purple Wave from being beaten, 12-8, to the Walnut Park Bobcats at Ballpark of Lexington. Clare went 4 for 4 with 4 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Juan Mendoza earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 3 runs on 3 hits in 2 innings. His record is now 1-1. The triumph puts Walnut Park at 67-56 for the season.

Walnut Park used the clutch hitting of Steve Gunnells to snag the win. The first baseman drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bobcats ahead, 11-7. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Gunnells.
