Suns Strike Down Wildthings, 9-2
Aurora second baseman John Anderson had a 3-RBI performance, which helped his team down the Washington Wildthings, 9-2. The winning pitcher was 24-year old left-handed pitcher Sean Gary. He tossed 87 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits. Kevin McGaha converted his 4th save in 8 tries.

With Aurora leading 3-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Anderson hit a fastball from Scott Meredith for a 2-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Suns ahead, 5-1.

"We'll need a much better effort, the next time out," said losing manager Danny Sanchez.

The win makes Aurora 79-59.
