Lendon Slugs Unicorns to 14-5 Win
Unicorns center fielder John Lendon put his stamp on his team's 14-5 win over the Greensboro Naturals. Lendon hit 2 home runs, while adding 7 RBI and scoring twice for Newport in the contest. Greensboro is 0-2 after the loss.

Lendon contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Newport in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 1-0, Lendon took a fastball from Gerardo Mendoza and stroked the home run to right. His 2nd home run of the season allowed the Unicorns to leap in front, 4-1.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Lendon. "But I like how we're playing right now."
