Blues Snag 4-1 Win
The Barton Springs Blues went home winners at Heron Field, thanks in large part to starter Richard Fernández. Fernández stifled the Lake Murray MotorBoaters, enabling Barton Springs to grab the 4-1 win. Tom Butler was credited with the save for Barton Springs, his 20th of the season. With this game in the books, Barton Springs is 43-53, Lake Murray 47-49.

Barton Springs needed the clutch hitting of Troy Blackwell to seal the deal. The shortstop swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blues on top, 4-1. For the game, Blackwell had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Clutch hitting plus clutch pitching usually equals a win," said Blackwell.
