Cannon helped his own cause with his bat as he went 3-for-3 with a run, 2 doubles, a homerun and 3 RBI and left the game with an 8-0 lead. The 51s made it interesting down the stretch out scoring the Sidewinders 8-1 in the final 4 innings but the Sidewinders held on to victory 9-8.

Terrero went 2-for-4 with 2 runs, a double and a strikeout. With his homerun in the 1st inning 2B Andy Green moved his hit streak to 15 games. Green's 15-gamer is the longest of any Sidewinder surpassing his own record of 14. The pitchers for Tucson combined to go 4-for-4 on the evening with 4 RBI.
