Thunderbirds Grind Out 1-0 Win
The Phoenix Thunderbirds downed the Portland Dragons, 1-0, at Portland Park. Stellar pitching by John Hersey had a lot to do with it. The right-hander, who finished 5th in the EC in strikeouts with 214 in 2069, handcuffed his opponent all game. Hersey, now 7-11, was the winner. In 5.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 9, walking 0, and allowing no runs. At 59-67, the Thunderbirds find themselves in second place in the Western Conference Manny Muro Division.

Tan Liu, who is a two-time All-Star, had a direct impact on the outcome. Liu contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put Phoenix up, 1-0.

"I was the aggressor," said Hersey. "No doubt about it."
