23ers Nip Captains, 2-1
The Fountain Hills 23ers did just enough to sneak past the Tampa Bay Captains, 2-1, at Fountain Park. Fountain Hills pitcher Mark Luby, in particular, had a standout performance. The winner in relief was Jonathan Reeher. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 3-2. The Captains, now 32-64, have lost 5 in a row.

Fountain Hills took a 2-1 lead on Joe Tibbs's 7th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Tibbs hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Tampa Bay pitcher Carlos Barraza visibly frustrated.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said 23ers manager Efren Nieman, "I like our chances."
