Longnecks Bang Out 7-6 Win Versus Salt Lake City
In a tight contest at Lookouts Ballpark, the Bloomington Longnecks edged the Salt Lake City Buzz by the score of 7-6. The Bloomington Longnecks' center fielder José Ruíz, who blasted 1 home run, was named the player of the game. Nick Taylor converted his 1st save in 2 tries. The first-place Longnecks, at 65-36, now lead their division by 4 games.

Ruíz had a key at-bat for Bloomington early in the game. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run. It was his 14th home run of the season and gave Bloomington an early 2-0 lead.

"I was able to barrel up some pitches," said Ruíz.
