Toros Use Late-Game Magic to Beat Thunderbirds, 7-4
Taxi Sabala, who finished 3rd in the WC in wins with 16 in 2079, was locked in. The right-hander led the Tucson Toros to a 7-4 win against the Phoenix Thunderbirds at Legednary Park. The win went to Bruce Feyereisen in relief, making him now 3-2. Ko Morita took the loss for Phoenix. Andy Miao sewed up the save, his 4th.

Tucson used the timely hitting of Manuel Bonometti to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Toros on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Taxi pitched his heart out," said Tucson manager Rick Barnes.

The win makes Tucson 76-71.
