Ironmen Lose to Firebirds, 2-1
The Phoenix Firebirds beat the Pittsburgh Ironmen, 2-1, at PNC Park. Starting pitcher Brant Hurter was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Hurter picked up the win for Phoenix, going 6.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 6-7. Phoenix has won 3 straight, while Pittsburgh has lost 3 in a row.

The Firebirds got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Trent Grisham. For the game, Grisham was 1 for 2 with a home run. In the top of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 20th home run of the season gave Phoenix a 2-1 lead.

"I really like what we did out there today," Grisham said after the game.
