Benefiting from Marc Meertens's productive game, the Phoenix Hotspur Reserves downed the Ellenburg Fighting Dachsunds, 14-7. Meertens was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 4 times and drove in 2 for the Hotspur Reserves. Phoenix reliever Richard Carlson was the winner. His record is now 1-1. The losing pitcher was Severiano Duclos. Ellenburg has now lost 6 straight.

There was more than one reason the Hotspur Reserves beat the Fighting Dachsunds, but one factor was Alex Niemann. In the bottom of the sixth, the Phoenix third baseman came to bat and hit a run-scoring single. It staked his team to a 7-6 lead.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Ellenburg manager Armando Saldaña.
