Scorpions Stumble, Lose to Fire
The San Francisco Fire pasted the Syracuse Scorpions with a convincing 11-2 defeat at Scorpion Stadium. Matthew Little was a prime factor in the San Francisco win. He was 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The winning pitcher was 26-year old right-handed pitcher Taylor Motyl. He tossed 81 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. San Francisco, at 42-52, sits in second place in the National Conference West Division.

Little put San Francisco up, 7-2, when he hit a grand slam home run off Eric Willhite in the top of the seventh. His 19th home run of the season helped the Fire capture the win.

Said losing manager Ricardo Lopez: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
