Little Rock Edges Paints, 11-10, Squires Clutch
Micah Squires powered the Little Rock Golden Gophers to a win over the Aurora Paints. The final score was 11-10. The Little Rock left fielder was phenomenal. He stroked 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. At 12-0, the 2026 Golden Gophers have been nearly flawless so far.

With Little Rock leading 7-5 in the bottom of the fifth, Squires came up to bat against Aurora pitcher Jim Unknown. Squires hit a cutter to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 1st home run of the season put the Golden Gophers on top, 11-5.

"We're playing hard," said Squires, "and we're playing to win."
