Aurora second baseman Roman Stephenson played a vital role in his team's 10-8 conquest of Traverse City. He was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Aurora. Javier Pacheco earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in 2.1 innings. His record is now 1-0. The save went to Kevin McGaha, his 1st this season.

Brian Phillips chipped in a run-scoring single for Aurora in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the first baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 2 RBI.

"Good to get a win," said Phillips, "but it's a long season."

The Suns, now 2-1, have played some good baseball in the early going.
