Razor Sharks Deal Running Rebels 5-2 Defeat
The Mesa Razor Sharks dealt the Fresno Running Rebels a 5-2 loss at Razor Sharks Ballpark. Mike Hopkins, who is tied for 8th in the E-AA in stolen bases with 12, was the star on offense. He was 3-4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Josh Buxton earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2.1 innings. He upped his record to 3-1. The Razor Sharks now have a record of 61-45 with the win over Fresno.

The Razor Sharks got a big boost from third baseman Matt Flanders who had a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the first inning off Running Rebels hurler Dennis Gronewold. It was his 28th RBI of the season and put Mesa on top, 1-0.

"This level of focus will win us a lot of ballgames," Flanders said after the game.
