Giants 11-0 Winners Over Fountain Hills
Detroit picked up a win at Fountain Park, bumping off the Fountain Hills 23ers, 11-0. Pitcher Tony Espinoza was a major reason the Giants emerged victorious. The winner was Espinoza. He threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Bryan Hallberg. The win has Detroit at 61-94.

Ben Shafer had a big 2-run double for the Giants in the top of the fourth inning. With Detroit leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Bryan Hallberg and swatted a double to right. It was his 20th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Giants ahead, 5-0.

"Not much to say," Fountain Hills manager Efren Nieman said, when asked afterward about the defeat.
