Firestorm Snatch Late Win
The Arizona Firestorm had to overcome a big game from Washington third baseman Alex Gordon to leave Wizards Park with a victory. And they did, winning 6-5. Gordon went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. Todd Coffey picked up the save, his 7th. The Firestorm now have a record of 14-19 with the win over Washington.

Arizona used the timely hitting of Rafael Furcal to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Firestorm on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"I was hoping to make good contact," said Furcal. "I wasn't trying to knock the snot out of it."
