Joe Weik hit an RBI single and scored a run to break open a tie game in the top of the ninth inning to propel the San Luis Obispo Rattlers to a 5-3 win over the Santa Maria Pilots in a summer collegiate baseball game Tuesday.

The Rattlers� first baseman 3 for 4 with three runs scored, and catcher Beau Fraser was 2 for 5 with three RBI.

Jared Levin, a recent San Luis Obispo High graduate, started on the mound for the Rattlers. He threw 41⁄3 innings allowing three runs on four hits, four walks and three strikeouts.

Rattlers relievers Tommy Erlin, Danny Price and Adam Clerici combined to hold Santa Maria to just one hit and two walks over the final 42⁄3 innings. Price picked up the win after throwing the seventh and eight innings, and Clerici picked up his sixth save.

San Luis Obispo Blues 2, Santa Maria Valley Packers 1

The San Luis Obispo Blues roughed up Santa Maria Valley Packers closer Ian Waldron for two runs in the ninth to score a come-from-behind win at SLO Stadium.

CJ Cron led off the inning with a triple and was replaced with pinch runner Andrew Letourneau, who Letourneau scored on a single to left by David Van Ostrand.

The inning�s second pinch runner entered the game as Zach Luther came in for Van Ostrand. He scored the winning run three batters later on a wild pitch, giving the Blues (20-6) their fifth consecutive win.
