Herons Fall Short at Phoenix
Phoenix Hotspur U-21 starter José Santiago turned in a sterling performance against the Hammond Herons, leading his team to a slim 3-2 win. Phoenix reliever Kenny Kawaguchi picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Jim Unknown absorbed the loss. The 9th-place Hotspur U-21 raised their record to 19-35.

The most important at-bat for Phoenix came in the top of the 11th inning, when left fielder Bernardo Rivera stroked a full count cutter to left for a 2-run double, putting Phoenix up, 3-1.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Phoenix manager Rudy Hankins.
