Rodrigues Lifts Golden Gophers to 16-8 Win
In a high-scoring contest between Little Rock and St. Joseph, center fielder Carlos Rodrigues was a difference-maker. Rodrigues, who is tied for 4th in the SL1 in bases on balls with 13, distinguished himself in the 16-8 Little Rock win. He went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 4 times and drove in 3. Jared Martinez earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 4 innings. He upped his record to 2-0. St. Joseph, now 2-14, has gotten off to a terrible start.

The Golden Gophers got a big hit from shortstop Erik Bailey. Facing St. Joseph pitcher Jim Unknown in the bottom of the eighth, Bailey pounded a bases-clearing triple to center. His 1st triple of the season put the Golden Gophers ahead, 16-6.

"We just can't get over the hump," said losing manager Chris Houston.
