Nicotra Slugs Desert Storm to 12-5 Win
Desert Storm designated hitter Chris Nicotra left his imprint on his team's 12-5 win over the Havana Sugar Kings. Nicotra slugged 3 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring three times for Arizona in the contest. Mario Martinez was the winner. He's now 5-9. The loser was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Eric McKinney. Arizona raised its record to 54-45 with the win.

Won-shik Im had a big 3-run home run for the Desert Storm in the bottom of the first inning. With Arizona trailing 1-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a splitter from Eric McKinney and swatted a home run to right. It was his 19th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Desert Storm ahead, 3-1.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Nicotra.
