Thunderbirds Roll Over Dragons, 10-3
The Phoenix Thunderbirds racked up a win at Portland Park, bumping off the Portland Dragons, 10-3. Hector Ortiz, who started for Phoenix, pitched effectively for his team. The second-place Dragons now sit at 54-47.

Phoenix took the lead, 4-0, on Billy Buelna's 16th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Buelna hit in the top of the seventh, made Portland pitcher Omar Mendez wince.

"Hector had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Phoenix manager Joe Busch.
