Razor Sharks Stick Suns with 8-6 Loss
Behind a fine performance from Matt Flanders, the Mesa Razor Sharks knocked off the Aurora Suns, 8-6. Flanders went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 3 times for the Razor Sharks. Jose Rivera, the winner, improved to 6-4. He held Aurora to 2 runs on 5 hits over 6.2 innings, while racking up 8 strikeouts. Earning his 4th save of the year was Adam Hinton.

Dan Cochran was 1-2 with a walk for Mesa. The 22-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Mel Mercado. It was his 3rd RBI of the season.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Mesa skipper Danny Schexnayder.

The Suns, now 41-35, have lost 5 in a row.
