23ers Win, Pope goes 3-for-5
The Fountain Hills 23ers took on the Chicago Gangsters at The Hideout.

The Fountain Hills 23ers polished off the Chicago Gangsters by the score of 7-4. The largest share of the credit belonged to right fielder Corey Pope. Pope was 3-5 with a home run and a triple, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the 23ers. Wade McGonigle picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Brian Kauppinen suffered the loss.

Had Chris Epstein not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Epstein hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 5-4, in favor of the 23ers.

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

The win gives Fountain Hills a record of 6-5.
