Magglio Ordonez ripped 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI and Rich Harden completed the
game without help from the bullpen as the Ridgecrest Rattlers outscored the
slumping West Huron Whitecaps 14 to 5.
 
Ordonez had a great evening at the plate.  He had the crowd cheering his every
move.  He blasted a solo shot in the 1st inning, singled scoring a run in the
3rd inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 21st of the
season) in the 4th inning and tripled which plated a run in the 8th inning.
Ridgecrest kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6
different innings.  
 
Harden(4-2) got the victory, allowing 5 runs for the game. The loss was
charged to Tim Redding(2-9).  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 8
runs in 3 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I was really seeing the ball tonight,' Ordonez said 'I wish it was always
this easy.'
