Big Day by Carbajal Sparks Belugas Win
Manny Carbajal was the difference-maker for the Brinkley Belugas in what turned into a shootout with the Naperville Battlekings. Carbajal earned the player of the game award after going 3-for-4 in the 18-9 Belugas win. Raúl Luna, who went 6 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 6 runs on 5 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 3-5. The 6th-place Belugas have won 4 in a row.

Also making an impact was right fielder Steve Jones, who drilled a double in the top of the fourth for Brinkley. For the game, Jones went 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Carbajal.
