Derek Sampell was cold coming off the bench, but Sampell warmed up quickly as Sampell stroked a key pinch-hit double in the three to lead the Raton Osos (8-42) to a 5-4 win over the Trinidad Triggers (30-20) on Friday at Gabriele Park.

With the Raton Osos trailing by two in the third inning, Sampell came to the plate and doubled, scoring William Smalls.

The Raton Osos AJ Doyle was perfect at the dish, going 2-2. He tripled in the fourth inning and singled in the fifth inning.
