Follmer Goes Wild, But Mighty Mites Win
Mike Follmer had a good game, but he could not keep the Aurora Paints from falling, 9-6, to the St. Joseph Mighty Mites at Paints Park. The Aurora right fielder was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 in the loss. St. Joseph, with the win, climbs to 4-26.

St. Joseph used the timely hitting of Jim Unknown to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Mighty Mites on top, 9-6. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

In postgame remarks, Unknown said: "To all who've been doubting my effort -- I hope they saw this game."
