Stephen exited Tuesday’s game with a one run lead after pitching 6 complete shutout innings yielding 1 hit, 3 walks, 1 hit-by-pitch, and 7 strikeouts. While this was not his prettiest outing (pitch count was a bit high), Stephen made effective use of his mid-nineties fastball, change-up and a wicked slider that kept Cochise batters off balance and even appeared to dumbfound the home-plate umpire on occasion. Scottsdale's record elevated to 12 and 3.
This was to be the seven inning opener of a doubleheader but after Scottsdale’s normally lights-out closer gave up the tying run in the top of the 7th, both teams found themselves embroiled in a 14 inning battle ending with Scottsdale on top.
