Late Magic Gets Tucson 2-1 Win
In a low-scoring clash between Tucson and Memphis, pitcher Tommie Sheppard was a difference-maker. The right-hander earned accolades in the 2-1 win. Tucson bumps their record to 74-50 with the win.

The most critical at-bat came in the top of the ninth inning. With no one out, Rafael Baez hit a 3-1 sinker from Dan McGinn for a run-scoring single. It put Tucson in front, 2-1.

"The division is still up for grabs, but I like our chances," Baez told the Tucson Gazette.
