Titans Reel-In 6-5 Win Over Thunderbirds
The New York Titans faced a tough opponent in Phoenix pitcher Hector Ortiz, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Legednary Park by a final score of 6-5. Ortiz went 5 innings and allowed 5 runs. Sergio Saldivar, the winning pitcher, is now 7-8. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 5. New York has won 3 straight, while Phoenix has lost 6 in a row.

Er Hsiao went 2-4 with 2 singles and was hit by a pitch for New York. The 35-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring strikeout off Hector Ortiz. It was his 39th RBI of the season.

"From the last whatever, five, six, seven games, there's really only one way to go and that's up," said losing manager Joe Busch.
