Gardner Stars for Rockies in 10-6 Win
The Grand Junction Rockies beat the Las Vegas (Rk+) Hustle, 10-6, at Goliaths Ballpark. Bobby Gardner starred for Grand Junction. He went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 5. Prince Roper sewed up the save, his 1st. Grand Junction is now 1-3.

Grand Junction needed the clutch hitting of Aaron Cruse to seal the deal. The third baseman swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rockies on top, 9-6. For the game, Cruse had 1 home run and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Gardner.
