Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Fountain Park.

Fountain Hills left fielder Corey Pope made his presence felt in the 10-9 23ers triumph over the Chicago Gangsters. Pope went 5-6 with a triple, a double, and 3 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Wilfredo Rodriguez notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. His record now sits at 2-2.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the 11th for Fountain Hills. That's when Adam Lietz hit a solo home run off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Elias Tapia to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

In postgame comments, Lietz said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."

Fountain Hills now sits at 39-53, while Chicago falls to 33-59.
