Prescott Pirates 7 Red Wing Aces 1- The Pirates belted the Aces Tuesday night at the Athletic Field, putting together a solid game to break a two game losing streak.

The Aces only run came in the bottom of the first inning when Adam Thygesen was hit by a pitch and scored on Steve Boldt's one out double to center.  The Aces wouldn't get another hit until Jimmy Bohmbach two out double in the eighth inning.

Prescott scored twice in the third inning off Aces starter Aaron Johnson .  Dillon Powell singled, Ben Krings walked, Justin Tobias' sacrafice bunt moved the runners up a base and Chris Tarrazas' single up the middle scored both runners.

The Pirates carried the 2-1 lead into the ninth inning, then blew the game open.  The Pirates loaded the bases  with one out against Aces pitcher Luke Halvorson,  who came on in the seventh inning to replace Johnson on the mound.  Augie Lindmark came in for Halvorson, but Alex Ross' infield single to short scored a run and two pitches later Brady Randolph hit a grand slam home run to left field to make it 7-1 and seal the deal.

Aaron Johnson took the loss for Red Wing while Mike La Barbera went the first five innings on the hill to get the win for Prescott.
