Firestorm Take Down Pirates, 5-2
The Arizona Firestorm tallied a win at Chase Field, throttling the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-2. Starting pitcher Zack Greinke was a big reason for his team's success. In 8 innings, Greinke surrendered 7 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. The save went to Todd Coffey, his 3rd this season.

In the bottom of the second, Arizona catcher Dave Nilsson had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and one out, Nilsson stroked a 2-run single to left. It made the score 2-0, Arizona. For the game, he was 3 for 4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"Feels good to get the job done," Nilsson said after the game.

The Pirates fall to 9-11 and continue their uninspiring start to the 2009 season.
