Mighty Mites Score 2-1 Win Over Little Rock
Caleb Bond could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his Little Rock Golden Gophers lost, dropping a 2-1 decision to the St. Joseph Mighty Mites at Little Rock Grounds. The winner was Jim Unknown, who threw 108 pitches over 7.1 innings. The left-hander was charged with 1 run on 10 hits. Picking up the save was 21-year old right-handed pitcher Hedde Castillo.

Jose Estrella had a direct impact on the outcome. Estrella contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put St. Joseph up, 1-0.

"Some games build character," said St. Joseph manager Chris Houston. "Like this one."

The defeat makes Little Rock 31-7.
