Valle, Rockets Beat Rattlers, 7-2
The Puerto Rico Rockets cut down the Tampa Rattlers by the score of 7-2, with the largest share of the credit going to right fielder Gilberto Valle. Valle was 2 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 times for the Rockets. Ben Nelson picked up the win with 6 innings of work. He allowed 2 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 9-6. Puerto Rico improves to 80-44 with the win. They lead their division by 7½ games.

Juan Ferrer hit a 2-run double off Brett Crossland in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Rockets in front, 3-2. In addition to the double, Ferrer had 1 single, while going 2 for 3.

"I think every team will tell you that the pitching sets the tone, especially the starters," said Puerto Rico skipper Jose Gaztambide.
