Warhawks Deal Vipers 8-4 Loss
<José Villarreal:player#9874> did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the <Arizona Vipers:team#6> from losing, 8-4, to the <Illinois Warhawks:team#74> at The Snake Pit. Villarreal went 2-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times. The 'W' lifts Illinois's record to 40-52.

Illinois used the clutch hitting of <Carlos Arriaga:player#10767> to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Warhawks ahead, 8-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Arriaga told the Illinois Today.
