Pope hits 23rd home run as 23ers Squeeze Past Maine
The 8-7 Fountain Hills win over Maine was due largely to Corey Pope. The 23ers first baseman went 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. The win was credited to Bryan Hallberg in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Stephen Boland took the loss. Fountain Hills is in second place in the American Conference North East Division with a record of 48-45.

Fountain Hills won the game in part because of Mike Townsend. The second baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the 23ers ahead, 8-7. For the game, Townsend had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Maine manager David Whigham.
