Tarantulas Bang Out 9-7 Win Versus Portland
Portland right fielder Jeff Kunkel pounded Tucson Tarantulas pitchers at Tuttle Fields, but it was not enough to keep the Stag from falling, 9-7. Kunkel hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. The winner was Stan Belinda in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Carlos Castillo took the loss. With the win over Portland, the Tarantulas improved to 48-45.

It could have been a different outcome for Tucson, had it not been for Jose Canseco, the 33-year old first baseman . Canseco contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Tucson up, 8-7.

"I felt good up there," said Canseco. "I saw the ball well."
