Bowling Green Wins, 6-2
Bowling Green pitcher César Rojas had a large part in his team subduing the Lansing Lugnuts, 6-2. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the left-hander. The defeat makes Lansing 48-62.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for José Gómez? The Bowling Green left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put the Hot Rods on top, 3-0. For the game, Gómez had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I really like what we did out there today," Rojas said after the game.
