Guilzar Helps Phoenix Cruise to 12-3 Win
The Phoenix Thunderbirds soundly defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 12-3, at Ballpark of Missouri. Alex Guilzar, who finished 3rd in the WC in RBI with 117 in 2080, let his bat do the talking. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once for Phoenix. Phoenix pitcher Julio Carpinteyro earned the win, hiking his record to 12-7. Alex Saldivar suffered the loss. The Thunderbirds improved their record to 80-63 by beating Kansas City.

Billy Morf had a big 2-run double for the Thunderbirds in the top of the second inning. With Phoenix trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he got a fastball from 26-year old left-handed pitcher Alex Saldivar and swatted a double to center. It was his 39th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Thunderbirds ahead, 3-2.

"Bad day," Kansas City manager Joe Monagle said. "New day tomorrow."
