Little Rock shortstop Erik Bailey made his presence felt in the 7-2 Golden Gophers triumph over the Aurora Paints. Bailey went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Nick Kern, the winning pitcher, is now 6-1. He went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 2 and walking 4. The Golden Gophers now have a record of 43-10.

"You come to the ballpark to do your job and that's what I did today," Dean told the Little Rock Herald.
