Scorpions Earn Late 5-4 Win
Fountain Hills got a big-time effort from pitcher Curtis Gring, but it wasn't enough to keep the Syracuse Scorpions from winning the game, 5-4. Gring threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. The win was credited to 27-year old right-handed pitcher Elijah Miller in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Tom Mott took the loss. The loss puts Fountain Hills at 6-6.

The decisive blow was delivered by Chris Stanifer in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a bases-clearing double off 33-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Mott to win the game for Syracuse. The home crowd went nuts.

Stanifer told a Syracuse Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
