Newport News Dealt 9-4 Defeat
Vince Banger was a major contributor to the 9-4 Sikeston win over Newport News. The Shamrocks second baseman went 2 for 2 with a home run and a walk. He scored 3 runs. The Shamrocks, at 13-18, inhabit 5th place in the Sub League 2 Central Division.

Jose Yenores had a big 3-run home run for the Shamrocks in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Sikeston leading 5-4 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Robert Esparza and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Shamrocks on top, 8-4.

"We'll take some time to unwind," said Yenores, "and then get after it again."
