Expos Drop Another One
Phoenix starter Ismael Lara pitched effectively against the Niagara Falls Expos at Hotspur Kiddie Complex. The left-hander led his team to a 3-1 win. Lara got the win, improving to 2-4. He allowed 6 hits and walked 0 over 8 innings. Lara allowed 1 earned run. The Expos, now 5-15, have lost 6 in a row.

A key at-bat in the game came in the bottom of the sixth inning when the Hotspur U-21 sent teenager Corey Ferguson to the plate against Expos hurler Ramón Cerrillo. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a single off a 2-2 fastball to score 2.

"We put together a nice win," Lara said.
