FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Yuma Scorpions missed a chance to clinch a berth in the AWL playoffs by losing to the Blythe Heat 12-1 Wednesday night at Desert Sun Stadium.

The Blythe win puts them within a game of Yuma for the fourth playoff position. If Blythe wins in Blythe on the final day tonight and the Scorpions lose to San Diego in Yuma, Blythe would claim the fourth spot by virtue of beating Yuma three games out of four in direct competition.

Blythe starter Mike Reeves pitched an outstanding seven innings, limiting the Scorpions to a seventh inning run and just three hits. He struck out five and scattered six walks.
