Thunderbirds 7-4 Winners Over Tucson
Tan Liu was instrumental in his team's 7-4 triumph over the Tucson Toros. The second baseman was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks. He scored 2 times for the Phoenix Thunderbirds. Arturo Noboa was the winning pitcher. Over 7 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 11 hits, with 2 walks and 2 strikeouts. Phoenix, now 75-79, holds down second place in the Western Conference Manny Muro Division.

Phoenix used a well-timed hit by Alex Zazueta to capture the win. The catcher socked a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Thunderbirds ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Zazueta.
