Huntington Beach, Calif. -  The Rustler's (11-6, 1-3) end their 4 game losing streak with a hard fought 6-2 win over the Orange Coast College Pirates (10-9, 1-3).

It was a total team effort win, as every player in the lineup recorded a hit on the day. It all started in the bottom of the 3^rd inning with a sac fly by Gianni Castillo to deep center field that scored Chris Gilbody from 3^rd base. The Rustler's took the lead for good in the bottom of the 5^th inning thanks to a John Shattles' 2 RBI single that landed just fair down the right field line.

Five player's recorded multi-hit games, Gilbody went 2 for 5 with 2 runs scored, Dillon Persinger went 2 for 2, Chris Rodriguez went 2 for 2 with 2 runs scored, Cody Marshall went 2 for 4 with a walk, and Shattles went 3 for 5 with 2 RBI's and a run scored. Overall the offense more than doubled the Pirates hits (16 – 7) which helped seal the game in the middle innings.
