Golden Cranes Turn Back Salt Lake City, 14-7
Salt Lake City got a terrific performance from second baseman Roberto Soto, but it wasn't enough to beat the Santa Barbara Golden Cranes. Santa Barbara won the Spirits Stadium contest, 14-7. Soto was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He belted 2 home runs. The winner was Alex Simmons, who threw 110 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 12 hits. Herman Barnes picked up the save, his 2nd.

The Golden Cranes beat the Buzz in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the triple Ángel López produced in the top of the fifth. Batting against Salt Lake City pitcher Powell Horne, he gave his team a 7-4 lead when he hit a bases-clearing triple.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Mark Harrison.

The Golden Cranes, at 32-23, sit in third place in the Menard's AAA.
