Cincinnati Stopped, 4-3, by Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Phalanx spoiled a good performance by Cincinnati first baseman Mark Vientos, bumping off Cincinnati, 4-3, at Great American Ball Park. Vientos was 3-4 with 2 home runs and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Marc Church earned his 3rd save in 6 chances. Philadelphia has now won 3 straight, while the Stars have lost 4 in a row.

Philadelphia used the hitting of Will Benson to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Phalanx on top, 2-0. For the game, Benson had 1 home run and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"I like what I saw today," said Philadelphia manager Stephen Esterhazy, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."
