The Visalia Rawhide picked up a win at Lake Elsinore Diamond, defeating the Lake Elsinore Storm, 5-2. Starting pitcher Jeff Ayers was an essential part of his team's success. The winner was Ayers. He threw 6.2 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Colt Smith. Picking up the save was 22-year old left-handed pitcher Dave Hensley.

Visalia used a clutch at-bat from Kian-zhi Li to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Rawhide ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"To get where we want to as a team, we all have to do things out of our comfort zone," Li told the Visalia News.

Lake Elsinore, at 29-51, has lost 6 straight.
