Thunderbirds Nip Aquas, 6-5
The Phoenix Thunderbirds besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Houston left fielder Bobby Badeaux by beating the Aquas, 6-5, at Tesoro Stadium. Badeaux was 5 for 5 with a triple, 4 singles, and a walk. Andy Miao, 1-0, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. Phoenix is off to a sluggish start, getting just their 5th win in 16 games.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Cody McLaughlin? The 26-year old left fielder McLaughlin stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 11th inning to put Phoenix up, 6-4. For the game, he was 3 for 6, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"Our team showed some resilience," said McLaughlin.
