23ers Sunk by Giants
Detroit Giants pitcher Nick Turpen was in fine form, leading his team past the Fountain Hills 23ers, 5-1. Detroit is 74-69 and Fountain Hills, with the loss, 70-73.

Chris Lutz had a big 3-run home run for the Giants in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Detroit leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a changeup from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Curtis Gring and punished it. The result was his 27th home run of the season, which put the Giants on top, 5-0.

Said losing manager Efren Nieman: "Give the Giants credit. They played a better game than we did."
