Mesa scored four runs in the first two innings and was never threatened as the Solar Sox defeated Salt River 9-2 in Salt River.  The win gave Mesa four consecutive victories.

Junior Lake (Cubs) led the way with three singles and a double, driving in three.  Robbie Grossman (Pittsburgh) had two hits and scored three times, and Tyler Saladino (White Sox) had two hits and drove in three.  Terry Doyle (White Sox) worked four shutout innings to get the win, striking out four while giving up one hit and two walks.  The only Twin to play was Bruce Pugh, who pitched a perfect eighth inning.

The Rafters were led by Gorman Erickson (Dodgers), who singled and doubled.  The loss went to Stephen Fife (Dodgers), who allowed four runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks in two innings.

Mesa is off today.  The Solar Sox host Surprise Monday afternoon.
