San Antonio Edges Sunrise Manor, 8-7
Sunrise Manor right fielder Chris Birchfield had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Birchfield went 3-5 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 5 runs and scored once, even as San Antonio beat the Sunchasers, 8-7. The winner was Roberto Mendoza in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Cory Singer took the loss. Jo Uehara recorded the save, making him 7 for 8.

Mike Ekstedt hit a 2-run double off Cory Singer in the bottom of the fifth, which put the Griffins in front, 6-5. In addition to the double, Ekstedt had 1 single and 1 walk, while going 2 for 4.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said San Antonio manager James Beatty.

The Griffins raised their record to 50-80.
