Unicorns 6-0 Victors Over Little Rock
The home crowd had a good time watching the Little Rock Golden Gophers and Newport Unicorns get after it.

Jonathan Weaver never let Little Rock get something going. The Newport right-hander commanded his fastball in pitching the Unicorns to a 6-0 win. The winning pitcher was Weaver, now 2-3. He tossed 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 3.

Santiago Ytuarte hit a 2-run triple off Ian McCullar in the bottom of the fourth, which put the Unicorns in front, 2-0. Ytuarte had 2 singles, in addition to the triple. For the game, he went 3 for 4.

"I'm happy we won," said Weaver. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."

Newport, with the win, climbs to 11-21.
