Make that five in a row for the Rafters, who broke open a 2-1 game with a four-run 6th in yesterday’s 6-2 win over the Desert Dogs.
Just two Nationals appeared in the game.
Christopher Bostick got the start at 2B and batted second, but was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Defensively, he took part in a 4-6-3 double play and had four assists and one putout.
Drew Ward was the DH and batted seventh. He drew a walk in the first and then grounded out three times for an 0-for-3 line in the scorebook.
Salt River, which leads the AFL East by one game, visits last-place Mesa this afternoon with John Simms (2-0, 1.64) slated to make his third start.
