Fountain Park was the site of a true pitchers' duel.

Fountain Hills 23ers starter Taylor Motyl turned in a top-notch performance against the Detroit Giants at Fountain Park. The result was a win for the 23ers, 2-1. Fountain Hills's record now stands at 25-26, placing them second in the American Conference North East Division.

Fountain Hills took a 2-1 lead on David McGowan's 5th home run of the season. The solo home run, which McGowan hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Detroit pitcher Tommy Swift visibly frustrated.

"Tough loss," said Detroit manager Blake Barber. "But that's how the cookie crumbles."
