Firebirds Suffer 5-2 Loss to Cacti
Albuquerque got a strong outing from Rick Rielly as the Cacti defeated the Albany Firebirds, 5-2, at Albuquerque Sports Stadium. Dave Recer earned save number 9 this season. With the win, Albuquerque has a record of 87-52. Albany falls to 74-65.

Chris Huston had a big 3-run home run for the Cacti in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Albuquerque leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a slider from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Finley and punished it. The result was his 20th home run of the season, which put the Cacti on top, 5-0.

"That was a really good outing by Rick," said Albuquerque manager Randy Haynes.
