Hotspur U-21 Deal Expos 10-4 Setback
Phoenix left fielder Harumi Takaki was instrumental in his team's 10-4 win over the Niagara Falls Expos. Takaki went 2-4 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Hotspur U-21. Abdel Alamini, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 3 and striking out 8. His record now stands at 7-5. Niagara Falls is trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.

One important at-bat came with the bases empty in the bottom of the second, when Takaki hit a solo home run. The Hotspur U-21 went on to win.

"Everyone's trying too hard," said losing manager Orlando Batista. "If we learn to relax, we'll be fine."
