The Little Rock Golden Gophers knocked off the Ottawa Lynx, 9-5, at Little Rock Grounds. Chris Benedict was a big reason Little Rock won. The center fielder was 1-2 with 3 walks. He scored 3 runs. Eddie O'Connor, now 1-1, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 1. The Golden Gophers boast a remarkable 28-5 record.

Bobby Barnes had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the sixth for Little Rock. With the bases loaded and the Golden Gophers leading 6-5, he hit a sacrifice fly.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Little Rock skipper Jose Moreno.
