Rangers Knock Off Phoenix at Chase Field
The Austin Rangers did just enough to secure a 6-2 victory over the Phoenix Hotspur at Chase Field. Nobody did more than pitcher Juan Valéncia, who captured player of the game honors. The Rangers go to 27-23, putting them second in the Division II.

The Rangers beat the Hotspur in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the double Matt Sheppard produced in the top of the second. Batting against Phoenix pitcher Wes Hamm, he gave his team a 2-0 lead when he hit a 2-run double.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said Valéncia.
