Raul Ibanez cracked 2 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the SSB Tar Heels defeated the
Jefferson Park Penguins by the score of 10 to 6 at Wells Fargo
Ballpark.

Ibanez was unconscious all evening.  The Jefferson Park fans hated to see him
approaching the batter's box as he just kept delivering base hits! He smashed
a bases-empty 'big-fly' in the 3rd inning, belted a three-run homer in the
5th inning and slapped a single plating two runs in the 7th inning.  The game
was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times.

runs. Francis got relief help from Ronald Belisario who gained credit for his
2nd save.  James McDonald(3-1) absorbed the loss.  He allowed a few too many
baserunners giving up 10 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
