Thunderbirds Zap Athletics, 6-1
The Phoenix Thunderbirds got a marvelous performance from pitcher John Hersey. The right-hander kept the Kansas City offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 6-1 Phoenix victory at Legednary Park. The winning pitcher was Hersey, now 2-2. He tossed 6 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. The Athletics drop to 11-11 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2080 season.

Rickey Pfau had a big run-scoring double for the Thunderbirds in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Phoenix leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Frank Hubert and swatted a double to left. It was his 8th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Thunderbirds ahead, 2-0.

"John is pitching with a lot of determination and a lot of fire," said Phoenix manager Joe Busch.
