Rockies Flatten Tigers, 9-2
Grand Junction designated hitter Jon LaBoube contributed significantly to his team's 9-2 win over the Portland Tigers. LaBoube went 2 for 4 with 1 run scored to lead the offensive attack for the Rockies. Reliever Eddie Keeton picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Willie Ochoa took the loss. The Rockies, now 3-0, have been playing some good baseball.

The Tigers had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Rockies going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 20-year old second baseman Mike Veith came to the plate. Veith hit a run-scoring double on a first pitch sinker from Portland hurler Willie Ochoa. It was Veith's 1st double of the year.

"Good pitching stops good hitting," said Veith. "And vice-versa."
