Angels Clip Rangers 6-5 in R2 Contest
Already down in the Championship, the Tempe Angels put on their best show, beating the Surprise (TEX) Rangers by a final score of 6-5 today. Carter Jensen was special. He went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Tempe now trails Surprise (TEX) 3-2 in the best-of-7 affair.

Tempe used the bat of Taylor Luginbill to get the win. The designated hitter hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Angels ahead, 6-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We're one game closer to our goal," Tempe manager Trevor Crowe said later. "It isn't any more complicated than that."

Game 6 is scheduled for Monday at Tempe Diablo Stadium in Tempe.
