Loss Extends Salem Losing Streak
Despite a great performance by Salem third baseman Rodrigo Gómez, the Phoenix Hotspur Youth defeated the Misfits by the score of 7-5 at Ricochets Ballpark. Gómez went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. Phoenix Hotspur reliever Vernon Turner picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Marcos Oquendo shouldered the loss. Cobus Reijnen earned the save for Phoenix Hotspur, his 4th of the year.

Carl Tucker, not known for his power, had a big at-bat with two out in the top of the seventh. That's when he connected on a curveball from Marcos Oquendo for a 2-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season put Phoenix Hotspur in front, 6-4.

"Everyone's kind of edgy right now," said losing manager Bill Clark. "It's nothing a couple of wins wouldn't cure."

Phoenix Hotspur has run its win streak to 5 in a row.
