Desert Storm Pull Out Late Win, 3-2
Arizona Desert Storm starter Kevin Spencer pitched his team past the Kyiv Cossacks, 3-2. Terry Donohue, now 3-3, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The Arizona winning streak has reached 3 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Joe Gainey in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Alex Bazan to win the game for Arizona. The home crowd went nuts.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Kyiv manager Boris Lahutin. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
