Tropics Stymie Saint Louis, Take 3-1 Win
The Saint Louis Martins got a superb performance from pitcher Paul Hale, but the Puerto Rico Tropics still won the game, 3-1. Hale threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Danny Baker picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 4-3. Paul Hale was tagged with the loss. The Tropics have an impressive 73-37 record.

Puerto Rico used the bat of José Rivero to get the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Tropics ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We've got a great group of guys," Rivero said, "and we're having fun right now."
