Heat Snatch Late-Game, 5-4 Win
The Palm Springs Heat picked up a win at Knights Ballpark, knocking off the Ann Arbor Z's, 5-4, in 11 innings. On the mound for Palm Springs was right-hander Jose Paredes. He played a pivotal role in the triumph. The win belonged to Ross Lefkowitz in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Sean Finch took the loss for Ann Arbor. The last-place Heat now sit at 42-55.

Palm Springs used the timely hitting of Tom Klenke to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Heat on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Jose is a tough competitor," said Palm Springs manager Rogelio Sanchez.
