Stephenson Powers Suns to 11-8 Win
The Aurora Suns powered past the Mesa Razor Sharks, 11-8, at Razor Sharks Ballpark. Roman Stephenson went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2, to lead the charge. Brandon Dix notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 3.2 innings. His record now sits at 1-0. The Suns raised their record to 7-1.

Aurora used the clutch hitting of Pete Lemish to capture the win. The right fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Suns the lead, 6-5. For the game, Lemish had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

"You just play the game as right as you can and see where you end up," said Suns manager Oscar Figeroa.
