Philadelphia Stopped, 4-0, by Phoenix
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Phoenix Firebirds and Philadelphia Phalanx.

Kyle Freeland was terrific for the Phoenix Firebirds in his team's 4-0 triumph over the Philadelphia Phalanx. His performance earned Freeland rave reviews. The winning pitcher was Freeland, now 2-6. He tossed 6 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 6.

Rob Refsnyder had a big solo home run for the Firebirds in the bottom of the third inning. With Phoenix leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a changeup from 26-year old left-handed pitcher Will Dion and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Firebirds on top, 2-0.

"Clutch hitting plus clutch pitching usually equals a win," said Refsnyder.

The win for the Firebirds raised their record to 44-39.
