Hotspur U-21 Take 15-2 Pounding
Greg Rook helped Chicago edge Phoenix by the score of 15-2. Rook, now 1-1, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 9, walking 3, and allowing no earned runs. The first-place Tula have a one-game lead in their division.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the fifth inning when the Tula sent teenager Zahid Kashani to the plate against Hotspur U-21 hurler Alberto Solís. With the bases loaded and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a 1-0 sinker to score 2.

"It feels good to get that win," said Rook. "Now it's on to the next one."
