The Latrobe Steel nipped the Superior Blues 3 to 2 at SAFECO Field in a hard
fought contest.
 
Latrobe brought 2 runs across the plate in the 5th inning. The key at-bat was
by Carlos Pena who silenced the stadium when he smashed a two-run homer.
Superior had 11 hits in the game while Latrobe had 6, but Latrobe had the
more timely hits.  
 
Rick Porcello(7-5) got the win allowing 2 runs in 6 innings. David Robertson
earned his 8th save.  Michael Pineda(9-5) was the losing pitcher.  He allowed
4 hits and 1 walk in 6 innings.  
 
The win by Latrobe is a very welcome one as they have been struggling in
recent days.  Their record now stands at 44-44 - only 2-8 in their last ten
games.  With the loss Superior now has a record of 50-48.
