Tucson Rallies for 7-3 Victory
Ralph Pond led Tucson to a win over Minneapolis. The final score was 7-3. Pond collected 2 RBI, while going 3 for 4 at the plate. The second baseman also scored 2 times. Tucson reliever Don Young picked up the win, upping his record to 4-4. Ontario Erie was saddled with the loss. Tucson is now 66-76, while Minneapolis is 55-87.

Had Gabriel Rosales not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Rosales hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Toros.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Pond.
