Ismael Valdes had a complete game as the Sterling Silver Sluggers bested the
Denver Dingers 5 to 2 at Qualcomm Stadium.

Albert Belle had a good evening at the plate.  He doubled bringing home two
baserunners in the 6th inning and clubbed a two-run home run in the 8th
inning.  The teams had been locked in a scoreless duel until the 6th inning.

Valdes(6-3) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. The losing pitcher
was Chuck Finley(5-7).  'I've been working on a few things in my delivery,
and I think I'm hitting a good groove.' Valdes said after the game.  'I'm
ready to start another game tomorrow!'
