Team Summaries	Diamondbacks Notes: A seesaw battle that could have gone either way, and wasn't settled until the bottom of the 7th when Kayo banged out his second homer of the day. The Angels took the early lead, batting around in the 1st on 3 hits, 4 walks and a couple of D'bax defensive lapses. But then the D'bax Big Birdseed settled down, striking out 7 and yielding only one hit over the next 3+. Meanwhile, the D'bax scored seven unanswered runs of their own, the big knocks coming on Long Lloyd's 2-run triple and Kayo's 3-run homer. Eli came in to pitch the fifth, and proceeded to strike out 6 over 3 innings. Some shaky D'bax defense opened the door in the 7th, however, and the Angels took full advantage adding 3 clean hits and retaking the lead 8-7. All of which set the stage for Kayo's walk-off heroics. Eli got the justly deserved win, going 4 for 4 with a double, an RBI, and 2 runs scored. Angels Notes: In a hard fought contest the D-Backs came out victorious in this game, pulling out a victory in the bottom of the 7th inning. In a briskly played 2 hour game at Caldecott, the Angels as has been their pension put up 4 runs in the first inning. The D-Backs rallied back and put up 3 runs in the 2nd, 3 more in the 3rd and a single run in the 4th. The D-Backs pitching of Evan H. and Eli F. held the Angels in check till the 7th. Down by 3 runs the Angels came charging back with clutch hits by Jimy H. and Jordan E. to tie the game. Then in a daring move Jordan E. stole home to put the Angels on top. In the bottom of the inning hits by Eli F. and Kevin O. pushed the D-Backs to victory. For the Angels Jimy H., Gary R-O, and Noah N. each had 3 hits. The D-Backs were led by Kevin O. and Eli F. each collecting 3 hits.
