Pels Helps Golden Cranes Beat Coyotes
The Santa Barbara Golden Cranes beat the Hamilton Coyotes, 15-1, at Crane Field. The win was largely due to the efforts of third baseman Job Pels, who captured player of the game honors. He was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. Jason Troughton picked up the win with 8.1 innings of work. He allowed 1 earned run on 5 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 9. On the season, he is now 6-8. The Golden Cranes now own a record of 45-38.

With runs few and far between, the Golden Cranes had to seize their opportunities when they came. One of the most important chances for Santa Barbara came in the bottom of the third. That's when first baseman Pablo Lugo delivered a 3-run home run. The home run was hit off José Zavala and made the score 3-0, Golden Cranes. Lugo went 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once.

Pels described the clubhouse as "strangely calm" after the game.
