Heat Roll to 9-1 Win Over Z's
Palm Springs pitcher Jason Stoute did his part in helping his team defeat the Ann Arbor Z's, 9-1. The opposition could never get too much going against the right-hander. Stoute yielded 1 run over 5.2 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 7. His record improves to 3-1. Colin Esser wrapped it up, recording his 5th save.

George Theodore had a big grand slam home run for the Heat in the top of the seventh inning. With Palm Springs leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jon Gunter and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 18th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Heat ahead, 8-1.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Theodore. "And not try to do too much."

The Heat now have a record of 73-39 with the win over Ann Arbor.
