Reliever Bob Westbrooks recorded 4 outs in 4 pitches in 1.1 innings to earn the win and give the offense a chance. Ray Harrison tossed two clean innings with a K for the save.
The Hawaii offense had to rely on keeping the line moving with doubles and singles because strangely homers were hard to come by in San Fernando. Eric Owens led all Trops hitters with three hits, stole a couple of bases (4), scored a run and drove in one. Owens is playing at the level he displayed when he first came up to the majors. He posted 2.7 WAR in 2061 while playing just 52 games then had a monsters season in 2062 with 5.3 WAR. That season he hit 30 homers and drove in 133 runs ending with a Puckett in left. He’s struggled since and has been riding the option train. Vicente ‘Yogi’ Martinez was 1 for 5 with two ribbies and scored a run. Bob Webb was 2 for 4 with a double (1) and two RBI.
