Stars Fall, 6-4, to Wallner, Firebirds
Spirited fans greeted the Cincinnati Stars for their clash with the Phoenix Firebirds.

Matt Wallner made an impact in the 6-4 Phoenix win over Cincinnati. Wallner, who finished 4th in the UL in home runs with 38 last year, was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Ranger Suarez picked up the win with 5.2 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 9 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 7. On the season, he is now 11-1. Daniel Palencia earned his 2nd save in 4 chances.

Phoenix grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Wallner hit a grand slam home run off Tylor Megill. His 5th home run of the season put the Firebirds out in front, 6-2.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Wallner told the Phoenix News.

With the win, Phoenix has a record of 46-44. Cincinnati falls to 46-44.
