Justin Upton connected with a 'big fly' and had 3 RBI as the Superior Blues
defeated the Simi Valley Vikings by a score of 6 to 4 at SAFECO
Field.
 
Superior scored the winning runs in the 8th inning plating 3 runs utilizing 3
base hits.  After an out was recorded, Upton got things going when he
singled.  Mark Trumbo was next and he slapped a one-base hit.  After another
out, Adam Lind came to bat and clubbed a three-run home run.  Cliff
Pennington was a strikeout victim, unable to help out.  This was a game of
many highs and lows for the home town fans, as the lead kept changing - 5
times in all.  
 
The victory was credited to Mark Lowe(3-1) who went 2 innings, allowing no
runs. Rafael Betancourt earned the save, his 26th.  The loss was charged to
Anthony Varvaro(0-3) in relief.  He pitched 1 inning and surrendered 3 hits
and no walks.
