Monarchs Drop Beetlecats, 3-2
The Marysville Monarchs rode a solid performance from 22-year-old starting pitcher Alex Gurule to a win, beating the Buzzard's Bay Beetlecats, 3-2, at Mitts Fieldhouse. The winning pitcher was Gurule, now 3-8. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4. The win cannot erase the fact that Marysville still has a disappointing 30-67 record.

Center Fielder Ronnie Ballard made an impact for Marysville, when he swatted a run-scoring double off Chris Sipes in the bottom of the fifth. For the contest, Ballard was 1 for 3 with a double.

"Alex has the heart of a gladiator," said Marysville manager Angel Gareia.
