4-3 Gilbert Win Thrills Crowd
The Gilbert Geckos picked up a win at Camelback Ranch, knocking off the Mesa Saguaros, 4-3, in 11 innings. On the mound for Gilbert was right-hander Benton Kitchen. He played a pivotal role in the triumph. Justin Copeland got credit for the win, improving to 3-2. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. The Geckos now have a record of 15-13.

The decisive blow was delivered by Shane Duncan in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a solo home run off 18-year old right-handed pitcher Cameron Harvard to win the game for Gilbert. The home crowd went nuts.

"We earned that one," said Duncan.
