Desert Storm Win, 8-4, Versus Los Angeles
The rain came, as predicted, but the Arizona Desert Storm and Los Angeles Kings were able to complete their ballgame.

The Los Angeles Kings got a superb performance from pitcher Alex Watkins, but the Arizona Desert Storm still won the game, 8-4. Watkins threw 6.2 innings allowing 1 run. The winning pitcher was Mario Martinez. He tossed 115 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Joe Gainey? The Arizona shortstop had a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Desert Storm on top, 5-4. For the game, Gainey had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Gainey told the Arizona Herald. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."

The Desert Storm sport a record of 21-32.
