Downs, Red Birds Play 11 to Settle Game 1, Phoenix Now Leads Series 1-0
One game in and the Alexander Hamilton Cup is already looking exhausting.

The Phoenix Downs and the Columbus Red Birds needed 11 innings to settle Game 1, with the Downs finally taking the 8-5 victory at Griffith's Park. Excelling in the win was Phoenix starting pitcher Ken Finch, who threw 8.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The Downs and Red Birds are playing a best-of-7 series.

Phoenix used the clutch hitting of Dave Wells to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a 2-run double in the top of the 11th inning to give the Downs the lead, 6-4. For the game, Wells had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"We didn't go down without a fight," said Columbus manager Joe Koralewski.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Griffith's Park in Columbus.
