Thunderbirds Winners, 5-4, at Minneapolis Grounds
Phoenix Thunderbirds starter Earl Starr found his groove in his team's 5-4 win over the Minneapolis Vikings. The defeat makes Minneapolis 76-85.

Chris Burks had a big 2-run home run for the Thunderbirds in the top of the third inning. With Phoenix leading 3-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a sinker from Erik Garcia, who leads the WC in complete games with 1, and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Thunderbirds ahead, 5-0.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Minneapolis manager Ace Cooan. "But we decided not to take it."
