Firebirds Win at Dallas, 5-3
Phoenix catcher Rafael Hill made his presence felt in the 5-3 Firebirds triumph over the Dallas Rustlers. Hill went 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times. The loss makes Dallas 6-2.

The outcome might have been different for Phoenix, had it not been for Josh Harrison, the 28-year old center fielder . Harrison stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Phoenix up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Harrison, "one at-bat at a time."
