Phoenix Downed, 9-6, by Stars
Cincinnati and Phoenix duked it out and the Stars came out victorious.

Despite a fine performance by second baseman Zack Gelof, the Phoenix Firebirds lost to the Cincinnati Stars, 9-6. Gelof went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win gives Cincinnati a record of 4-0.

Cincinnati won the game in part because of Francisco Alvarez. The catcher ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars ahead, 6-5. For the game, Alvarez had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"We've got a great group of guys," Alvarez said, "and we're having fun right now."
