Fountain Hills Slaps 7-4 Loss on Cincinnati
Fountain Hills designated hitter Chris Epstein was instrumental in helping the 23ers triumph, 7-4, over the Cincinnati Royals. Epstein went 4-4 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was 33-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Mott. He tossed 104 pitches over 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits. Losses have been few and far between for the Royals, now 16-5.

With Fountain Hills leading 2-0 in the top of the first, Epstein hit a sinker from Dave Harvey for a 2-run double. It was his 3rd double of the season and put the 23ers ahead, 4-0.

"I keep on showing up every day and trying to put up good at-bats and find good pitches to hit," said Epstein.
