Suns Prevail, 3-2, Over St. Louis
The Arizona Suns scooped up a win at The Lions Hearth, dumping the St. Louis Lions, 3-2. Caleb Curran was essential to his team's success. The winner was Curran. He threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. The loser was Jesse Pesa. Despite the win, the Suns have a lousy 18-34 record.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Matt Doyle? The Arizona catcher had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Suns on top, 3-1. For the game, Doyle had 2 doubles and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Arizona manager Steve Brandson. "It's usually not just one thing."
