Bulls Jolt Hotspur U-21 with Late Rally
Phoenix got a terrific performance from pitcher Lorenzo Ventura, but it wasn't enough to beat the Mt. Vernon Bulls. Mt. Vernon won the Ballpark of Mt. Vernon contest, 6-5. Ventura was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He threw 7 innings of 6-hit ball. Phoenix, at 4-13, is off to a poor start in 2025.

The Bulls were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when pinch hitter José Perea turned a 2-0 fastball from Richard Osborn into a 2-run triple. The walk-off triple sent a roar through the crowd and gave Mt. Vernon a thrilling 6-5 win.

"We need to get rid of the bad mojo," said Perea. "Maybe this win will help."
