Riptides Victors, 7-6, at Phoenix
Despite a fine performance by catcher Victor Caratini, the Phoenix Firebirds lost to the Carolina Riptides, 7-6. Caratini was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Carolina reliever Hector Neris picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Edwin Diaz absorbed the loss. The first-place Riptides have won 4 in a row.

Carolina needed the clutch hitting of Carson Williams to seal the deal. The shortstop swatted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Riptides on top, 7-6. For the game, Williams had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Williams.
