Desert Storm Top Porters, 5-2, to Begin DS
The Arizona Desert Storm started the Divisional Series in style, winning on the road against the Dublin Porters at Porters Ballpark by a score of 5-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Desert Storm left-hander Kevin Spencer threw 6.1 innings of shutout ball.

Arizona used a clutch at-bat from Won-shik Im to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Desert Storm ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I thought we played a nice game," Im told the Arizona Observer. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Porters Ballpark in Dublin.
