Raccoons Take Tight Tilt, 5-4
The Tucson Raccoons had to overcome a fine effort from Denver pitcher David Fry to win, 5-4, at Raccoons Ballpark. Fry went 6 innings and allowed no runs. Tucson reliever Pedro Benitez picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Billy Merner took the loss. The win makes Tucson 15-25.

The decisive blow was delivered by Adam Cooper in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a bases-clearing double off 31-year old left-handed pitcher Billy Merner to win the game for Tucson. The home crowd went nuts.

Tucson manager Rogelio Sanchez praised his team's "businesslike approach."
