Golden Gophers Get Hard-Earned Win
The Little Rock Golden Gophers knocked off the Aurora Paints, 4-3, at Little Rock Grounds. Cody Lilley was a big reason Little Rock won. The right fielder was 2 for 4 with a home run. The Golden Gophers, now 13-1, have played inspired baseball.

Little Rock got a clutch hit from Rich Callanan. The catcher socked a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was game-ender.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Lilley said.
