Little Rock used the hitting of Chris Benedict to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Golden Gophers on top, 9-3. For the game, Benedict had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Feels good to get the job done," Benedict said after the game.
