Late Rally by Firebirds Secures 5-3 Win
The Phoenix Firebirds topped the Dallas Longhorns by a score of 5-3. Leading the way was designated hitter Irv Noren. Noren was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Firebirds. Phoenix reliever Josh Tomlin picked up the win to move to 2-6. John Butcher suffered the loss. Phoenix's record now stands at 36-48, placing them last in the High Indy National HIN West.

Noren dealt the big blow in the bottom of the ninth. That's when he launched a 2-run home run off Dallas pitcher John Butcher to win it for the Firebirds.

Noren told a Phoenix Chronicle reporter he was "pleased as punch" with the win.
