Firebirds Win, 5-4, in 11 | The Phoenix Firebirds faced a tenacious opponent in Tampa Bay pitcher Terry Whitten, but still scratched out a win at Sunrays Field by a final score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Whitten went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs. Ernie Kirkham got the save, his 4th in 4 chances. The setback makes Tampa Bay 40-40.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Gil Paguay? The 25-year old catcher Paguay stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put Phoenix up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.
"We squandered some opportunities," said Tampa Bay manager David Fields. | | | | |
