Thunderbirds Get Thrilling 4-3 Win
Phoenix and San Diego duked it out and the Thunderbirds came out victorious.

The Thunderbirds grabbed a win, 4-3, at Legednary Park, overcoming a fine effort from San Diego pitcher R.J. Mendenhall. Mendenhall went 5 innings and allowed no runs. Phoenix reliever Jimmy Hsia was the winner. His record is now 1-3. The losing pitcher was Santos Gomez.

The decisive blow was delivered by Alex Pedraja in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off two-time All-Star Teh-huai Yap to win the game for Phoenix. The home crowd went nuts.

"The game of baseball will test you," said Joe Busch, the Phoenix skipper. "This one tested us."

The Thunderbirds bumped their record to 46-44 with this latest triumph.
