Firebirds Get Clutch Win Versus Philadelphia
The Phoenix Firebirds beat the Philadelphia Phalanx, 8-7, at Chase Field. The Firebirds got a fine performance from right fielder Rob Refsnyder, who went 3-5 with a triple and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Edwin Diaz snagged the win in relief. He goes to 3-4 on the season. Justin Topa suffered the loss. With the win, Phoenix raised its record to 70-49.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Refsnyder hit a sinker from Justin Topa for a run-scoring single. The Firebirds, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said Phoenix manager Pat McGoldrick.
