Expos Pull Off Thrilling Win in Extras
The Expos took Phoenix pitcher Ismael Lara's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Waterfall Park. The final score was 4-3. Lara went 7.2 innings and allowed 3 earned runs. Washington Scarpenti, credited with the win, is now 2-1. He allowed no runs on 3 hits in 4 innings. The Expos now have a record of 15-28.

Edgardo Castro was a key contributor to the win for the Expos. In the bottom of the 12th with two out, the light-hitting shortstop stroked a single to right. He was 1 for 5 with a walk.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Phoenix manager Rudy Hankins said following the tough loss.
