Hurricanes Roll to 10-3 Win Over Oracles
Puerto Rico picked up a win at The Omnipotent Palace, toppling the Orlando Oracles, 10-3. Pitcher Alfonso Vega was one of the reasons the Hurricanes triumphed. Vega went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 8-10. Puerto Rico is now 51-73.

Puerto Rico relied on the hitting of Greg Shoemaker to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Hurricanes on top, 5-0. For the game, Shoemaker had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Vega told a Puerto Rico Gazette reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
