Dust Devils Edge Rockets, 7-6
The Kansas City Dust Devils beat the Huntsville Rockets, 7-6. Kansas City pitcher and Boyes Hot Springs, California, native Joey Russak led the way. Russak, the winner, moves to 1-1. He threw 5.2 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 2 walks. Evan Perez earned the save, his 2nd.

Jimmy Bauer had a big 2-run home run for the Dust Devils in the top of the fifth inning. With Kansas City leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a sinker from 23-year old left-handed pitcher Ruben Lopez and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Dust Devils on top, 4-1.

"We need to string a few more wins like this one together," said Russak.

Huntsville drops to 4-5.
