AFL Update: Oct. 22, 2013
Sammy Solis won his third straight start as Mesa snapped a two-game skid with a
9-6 win over Surprise.
Solis allowed one run on six hits over five innings, giving up a walk and striking out four. He threw 73 pitches, 47 for strikes.
Brian Goodwin also appeared in the game, but went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. He batted second and played center field but had no putouts or assists.
With the win, the Solar Sox improve to 8-2-1 in the AFL East and lead the second-place Scorpions by 3½ games. They rematch against the Saguaros in Peoria this afternoon.
The big question now is where Solis starts in 2014 and how many innings he’ll be limited to.
His backstory is so compelling you have to root for him.
Safe bet. Harrisburg
