Commies Topple Scorpions, 6-3
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Caribbean Commies spoiled a good performance by Scottsdale second baseman Omar Ruiz, bumping off Scottsdale, 6-3, at Castro Field. Ruiz was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Francisco Castillo, the winner, improved to 4-5. He held the Scorpions to 2 runs on 4 hits over 5 innings, while striking out 9 and walking 3.

Salvador Tobon had a big grand slam home run for the Commies in the bottom of the third inning. With Caribbean leading 2-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a changeup from Daniel Ramos, who is tied for 10th in the RR in strikeouts with 65, and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Commies on top, 6-0.

Tobon attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."

Caribbean is now 16-23.
