The Aurora Paints got a sterling performance from third baseman Jose Saenz, but the Little Rock Golden Gophers still prevailed, 10-5. Saenz went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Little Rock leads the Sub League 1 Central Division by 3 games.

Bobby Barnes had a clutch at-bat with one out in the top of the sixth for the Golden Gophers. Coming up with runners on 2nd and 3rd and Little Rock trailing 4-3, he hit a 2-run single.

"We took home the win," said Barnes. "What's not to like?"
