Thunderbirds Knock Off Kansas City, 4-2
Though he had a stellar game, Duviel Zaldivar could not prevent his team, the Kansas City Athletics, from losing, 4-2, to the Phoenix Thunderbirds. Zaldivar went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. Earning his 16th save for Phoenix was Jimmy Hsia. The second-place Thunderbirds now have a record of 43-40.

It could have been a different outcome for Phoenix, had it not been for Billy Morf, the former first round draft pick . Morf contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the third inning to put Phoenix up, 3-1.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Morf, "one at-bat at a time."
