Loss Mars Fine Effort by De Oleo
Despite a great performance by Flagstaff third baseman Hugo De Oleo, the Gilbert Geckos defeated the Blue Devils by the score of 8-7 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. De Oleo hit 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. Zenaido Mejia collected save number 3. With this game in the books, Gilbert is 33-28, Flagstaff 32-29.

Gilbert used the timely hitting of Fisher Pickens to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Geckos on top, 8-7. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Enjoyed this one," Pickens told the Gilbert Chronicle. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
