Hotspur Reserves Clip BC in Tight Contest
The Hotspur Reserves had to overcome a fine effort from Houston pitcher Millard Taylor to grab a 4-2 win at Thunderbirds Stadium. Taylor went 5.2 innings and allowed no earned runs. Phoenix reliever Adam Garrison was the winner. His record is now 2-2. The losing pitcher was António Ybarra. The Hotspur Reserves, at 39-16, sit in second place in the Silver AAA.

Alex Niemann was the walk-off hero for Phoenix. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, the Phoenix third baseman hit a dramatic 2-run home run to send the teams home.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Phoenix Hotspur Reserves manager Arturo Vega.
