River Cats Subdue Iowa, 6-5
Juan Castro powered the Sacramento River Cats to a win over the Iowa Cubs. The final score was 6-5. The Sacramento third baseman was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 3 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 2 doubles. Ron Courtois, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 12 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 2. His record now stands at 3-3. Justin Gage closed the game out for Sacramento, earning his 5th save.

Sacramento used a clutch at-bat from Steve Lunstrum to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the River Cats ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Not the sexiest win," said River Cats manager Damian Rivera, "but I'll take it."

Sacramento leads the Pacific Conference North Division by 4 games.
