Athletics Edge Thunderbirds, 4-3
The Kansas City Athletics did just enough to sneak past the Phoenix Thunderbirds, 4-3, at Legednary Park. Kansas City pitcher Matt McMillan, in particular, had a standout performance. Picking up the save was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Joey Gigstead. Kansas City, with the win, sits at 41-96.

Kansas City used a well-timed hit by Marcos Sardinas to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 4-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

After the game, Kansas City manager Joe Monagle applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
