Cacti Clip Cats, 6-5
The Albuquerque Cacti knocked off the Fort Worth Cats, 6-5, at LaGrave Field. Rusty Ela, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Albuquerque won. The center fielder was 3 for 5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs. Doug Castro got the win, improving to 2-0. He held the Cats to 3 earned runs on 6 hits over 5.2 innings, while striking out 0 and walking 4. Jorge Morones notched his 1st save in 3 chances.

One of the biggest contributors for Albuquerque was designated hitter Elijah Brown. In the top of the first, with the bases loaded, Brown got a full count fastball and hit a sacrifice fly. That put the Cacti on top, 2-0.

"It was a solid team effort," said Ela after the game.

Their 58-53 record puts the Cacti second in the RCL AAA Bobby Cox Division.
