Hotspur U-21 Bump Off Reapers, 5-1
Phoenix left-hander José Santiago pitched his team to victory over the Grim Reapers at Hotspur Kiddie Complex. The final score was 5-1. Santiago, now 1-2, was the winner. In 6.2 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 11, walking 3, and allowing 1 earned run. The Hotspur U-21 have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 4th win in 14 games.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the fifth inning when the Hotspur U-21 sent teenager Elvis Norfleet to the plate against Reapers hurler Pedro Adame. With runners on 1st and 2nd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a 1-0 fastball to score 1.

"I had a good game," said Santiago. "Winning makes it even better."
