The Libertyville Polecats took on the Aurora Suns at Suns Field.

Aurora left fielder Brian Phillips had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Phillips went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once, even as Libertyville beat the Suns, 8-5. The winning pitcher was Estevan Rios. He's now 4-2. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits for the Polecats.

With two out in the top of the first, Justin Sinclair put Libertyville in front, 2-0, with a 2-run single. The Polecats went on to win the ballgame.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Polecats," said Sinclair.

Today's win puts Libertyville at 61-60, while Aurora falls to 63-58.
