Sidewinders Earn 7-2 Win Versus Spokane
The Tucson Sidewinders got a stellar performance from pitcher Joe Sullivan, who handcuffed the Spokane offense en route to a win, 7-2, at Hi Corbett Field. The winning pitcher was Sullivan, now 7-0. He tossed 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. Tucson improves to 56-30 with the win. They lead their division by 8½ games.

The Sidewinders got an important contribution from left fielder Lloyd Merriman, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a 1-1 fastball into center for a 2-run double. It was his 27th double of the season and put the Sidewinders ahead, 3-1.

"Joe was able to execute his pitches," said Tucson manager Dusty Cali. "Simple as that."
