Sidewinders Earn Late Win
The Surprise Sidewinders topped the Mesa Saguaros, 3-2, in Arizona Rookie League action at Peoria Sports Complex. The game was highlighted by the performance of Surprise pitcher Alexander Hitz. The second-place Sidewinders improved to 29-16.

Surprise got a game-changing hit from Leopold Marroquin. The pinch hitter blasted a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a winner.

"The ending was a real humdinger," Hitz told reporters after the game.
