Golden Gophers designated hitter Chris Pinson left his imprint on his team's 12-4 win over the Greensboro Naturals. Pinson went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for Little Rock in the contest. The hot start continues for the defending champion Golden Gophers. This was their 23rd win in 25 games.

Bobby Barnes was 1 for 3 with a walk. He scored 2 runs for Little Rock. The 21-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring walk off Jaden Cornelius. It was his 15th walk of the season.

"Solid performance from our side," said Golden Gophers manager Jose Moreno.
