The Surprise Saguaros improved their league best record to 7-1 on Tuesday. They were off on Wednesday, then resumed play on Thursday with three Pittsburgh Pirates in the lineup, including one at a new position. Three other Pirates got into the game before it was over. Here’s the recap.
Nick Gonzales batted third and played third base for the first time as a pro. He came out swinging in this game, hitting a two-run homer in the first inning, his first homer of the fall. He grounded out to third base in the third, then walked in the fifth.
