Invaders Prevail, 8-6, Over Fountain Hills
The Oakland Invaders trumped the Fountain Hills 23ers, 8-6, at Fountain Park. Oakland second baseman Ryan Ward was terrific. He was 2 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Picking up the save was Chris Graham, his 8th. The 23ers, now 59-64, have lost 5 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mike Sligar? The Oakland catcher had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Invaders on top, 7-4. For the game, Sligar had 1 double and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Ward, "and then get after it again."
