Toros Deal Dragons 7-2 Defeat
The Tucson Toros beat the Portland Dragons by a score of 7-2. Tucson second baseman Ralph Pond deserved the lion's share of the credit. Pond was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times for the Toros. Today's win puts Tucson at 50-38, while Portland falls to 40-49.

Tucson used a clutch at-bat from Nagateru Imada to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Toros ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just try to be a dog, have good swings, good at-bats," said Pond.
