Soto, Riptides Wallop Millers in Game 4 of R2
The Carolina Riptides and the Minnesota Millers will take the CBA Division Series to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation, the Riptides beat the Millers, 10-1, at IBM Field to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Carolina right fielder Juan Soto went 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4.

With the game tied, 1-1, in the bottom of the fifth, Soto had a key at-bat for Carolina. With runners on 1st and 2nd, Soto hit a run-scoring single off Zach Eflin, making the score 2-1, Riptides.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Soto. "And not try to do too much."

Game 5 is scheduled for Friday at Target Field in Minneapolis.
