Rams Raise Rally Flag, Beat Coventry, 10-6
The performance of Ildefonso Batres proved critical in helping Derby beat Coventry, 10-6. The Rams catcher went 3-5 with 2 doubles. He scored 3 runs. Derby, at 60-57, holds down third place in the All-Team Circuit English Baseball Championship.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Jeff Bell came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Coventry pitcher Joseph Garrett, he hit a 0-2 changeup for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting Derby on top, 8-6.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Batres, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."
