9-2 Win by Golden Cranes Continues Hot Start
The exploits of first baseman Braxton Cottongame, who is tied for 3rd in the PAAA in extra base hits with 14, helped the Santa Barbara Golden Cranes defeat the Bloomington Longnecks, 9-2. Cottongame went 2-3 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Santa Barbara is now 23-8, 4 games up in the Premier AAA.

It could have been a different outcome for Santa Barbara, had it not been for James Pike, the 34-year old center fielder . Pike contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put Santa Barbara up, 3-0.

"We were the better team today. Maybe that won't be the case next game, but we'll enjoy it for now," Pike told the Santa Barbara Daily News.
