CF Esteban Mondolfo (30-R) was sent back to Vancouver (A) and OF Kim Springer (21-L) has been recalled. Springer has not hit all that great for the Mounties, but I figure he can hit (or not hit) as well as Rick Woodell has been doing...

Sacramento Solons (30-33 .476 12.5 GB in 6th place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (28-36 .438 15 GB in 7th place in the PCL West)

SAC: Darrell Williams (25-R 6-4 3.27) vs. POR: Bobby Johnson (23-R 4-4 2.58)

Williams is 1-1 against us this season with one great game and one clunker.

Johnson pitched a CG 3 hitter last time out, allowing 2 runs.
