Shockers Prevail, 6-4, Over Memphis
Surprise and Memphis duked it out at Mammoths Ballpark and the Shockers came out victorious.

Getting a good performance from second baseman Kian Hook, the Surprise Shockers defeated the Memphis Music, 6-4. Hook was 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk for the Shockers. Mototsune Rin was credited with the save for Surprise, his 17th of the season.

A key at-bat in the game came in the top of the sixth inning when the Shockers sent teenager Steve Murdock to the plate against Music hurler Luis Sastre. 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 changeup to score 1.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Hook.

Surprise is now 37-46, while Memphis is 29-54.
