Captains Earn 5-2 Home Win
The San Diego Captains converted a terrific effort from starter John Espersen into a win over the Chicago Traders at San Diego Sporting Complex. The Captains won the game by a final score of 5-2. The winning pitcher was Espersen, now 9-4. He tossed 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. Jack DeWitt earned the save, his 14th in 18 tries.

San Diego took a 5-2 lead on Ernie Wilkins's 8th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which Wilkins hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Jose Mojica visibly frustrated.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Wilkins.

San Diego has run its win streak to 4 in a row.
