Luke Payne gave up the fewest hits he has over his last five games on Thursday. He was unstoppable, not allowing a single earned run and allowing only one hit while striking out seven over five innings pitched. He has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.

Payne's effort led Stanhope Elmore over Percy Julian and he'll get a chance to do so again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Phoenix are limping into the matchup having lost seven straight on the road. There's no doubt they're looking for a change of fortune, but will Payne and the Mustangs have enough to stop it?
