Rocks Come Back Late to Top Hotspur Reserves
Getting a good performance from designated hitter Chris Costa, the Plymouth Rocks defeated the Phoenix Hotspur Reserves, 9-2. Costa was 3-5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3 for the Rocks. Plymouth reliever Frank Castle was the winner. His record is now 2-3. Dennis Dunn took the loss. Plymouth is now 41-46, Phoenix 38-49.

Had Costa not come through in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have changed. Instead, with two down, Costa hit a run-scoring double. The Rocks never looked back after taking the 3-2 lead.

"We maximized our offense today," said Plymouth skipper John Bush. "That makes everyone's life easier."
