Grand Junction, Colo. - The Grand Junction Gold Sox stormed through Week 16 of their Class A Schedule, racking up 6 wins against just 1 loss.

In the process, they added a game to their lead in the PL West-Central Division.

Their timing was good because the Sox are coming up on a tough week, in which they’ll play a solid Tombstone club and the PL Frontier Division leader, Billings.

“This coming week will be a good test for our club,” said manager Roberto Solis. “We’ll get a chance to measure ourselves against a couple of pretty good teams.”
