Minnesota 7-5 Losers to Firebirds
A good performance from third baseman Graham Pauley helped the Phoenix Firebirds defeat the Minnesota Millers, 7-5. Pauley was 3-4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Firebirds. Phoenix is now 29-27, while Minnesota is 31-25.

Had Trent Grisham not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Grisham hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Firebirds.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Grisham.
