Hops Better Twins, 5-4
The Minnesota (SS-A) Twins got a sterling performance from pitcher Tony Ortiz, but the Hillsboro Hops still prevailed, 5-4. Ortiz came in in relief and pitched to 20 batters. Angel Castro, who went 5.2 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. His record now stands at 2-1. Javier Guzman closed out the game, earning his 2nd save.

Hillsboro second baseman Antonio Ruiz contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a cutter to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 5th hit of the season and put the Hops ahead, 5-0.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Hillsboro manager Carlos Diaz.

Hillsboro, with the win, climbs to 9-18.
