Captains Win, 6-2, Versus St. Louis
The San Diego Captains defeated the St. Louis Explorers, 6-2. Doing his part was left fielder Alex Rojas, who went 1-3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. With the win, San Diego has a record of 20-19. St. Louis falls to 21-18.

Rojas had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a first pitch fastball from Rick Morton, he banged a grand slam home run to right, giving the Captains a 6-2 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Rojas.

San Diego manager Joe Mack said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
