Tempest Top Pride, 3-2
New Haven Tempest starter Mike Benjamin turned in a sterling performance against the Savannah Pride, leading his team to a slim 3-2 win. Benjamin went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 13-7. Christian Green earned the save, his 6th, for the Tempest.

New Haven took a 3-0 lead on Chris Phillips's 144th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Phillips hit in the top of the seventh, left Savannah pitcher Jason Caulfield visibly frustrated.

"I tell our guys all the time, 'Every pitch is the right pitch if you put it in the right place, you believe in it and have conviction,'" New Haven manager Brandon Eberle said.

The first-place Tempest are now 88-67, the Pride 70-85.
