Suns Victors, 8-6, at Fresno
Adam Wright left his imprint on the 8-6 Aurora win against the Fresno Running Rebels. Wright was 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk. The winner was Aurora reliever Josh Edwards, now 8-2. The loser was Jordan Clayton. Josh Maughan notched his 10th save of the season.

In the top of the ninth, 26-year old right fielder Joe Ortiz delivered for Aurora. That's when he belted a 2-run home run, putting the Suns up, 7-6. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a climactic one.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Ortiz said.

With the win, the Suns have a record of 75-55.
