Albuquerque Mettle Tested in Tight 5-4 Win
Billings got a terrific performance from pitcher Ricky Maldonado, but it wasn't enough to beat the Albuquerque Cacti. Albuquerque won the Albuquerque Sports Stadium contest, 5-4. Maldonado threw 7.1 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. With the win over Billings, the Cacti improved to 46-42.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ricardo Nieves in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 30-year old right-handed pitcher Alex Mata to win the game for Albuquerque. The home crowd went nuts.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Nieves said.
