Tropics Sneak By Buck$, 4-3
The Puerto Rico Tropics had to overcome a fine effort from Border City pitcher Man-ho Kang to grab a narrow 4-3 win at Roberto Clemente Park. Kang went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. Andrés Rodríguez got credit for the win, improving to 6-2. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2.2 innings. The victory gives Puerto Rico a record of 74-39.

Had Paul DeJong not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, DeJong hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Tropics.

"It feels good to get this one," DeJong told the Puerto Rico Today.
