The Phoenix Thunderbirds beat the Buffalo Rangers, 4-3, in 10 innings. Phoenix pitcher and North Bethesda, Maryland, native Henry Escobedo led the way. The winner in relief was Forbes Kopecky. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 2-3. Phoenix is now 38-66.

The decisive blow was delivered by Min-yul Lee in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Nees van Santen to win the game for Phoenix. The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd was raucous," said Escobedo.
