Newport Beats Aurora, 6-3
Branden Werkman led Newport to a win over Aurora. The final score was 6-3. Werkman scored 2 times, going 3 for 4. He also knocked in 2 RBI. Newport now sports a record of 14-18.

There was more than one reason the Unicorns beat the Paints, but Werkman's big at-bat in the top of the second was an important factor. He staked his team to a 3-1 lead when he hit a 2-run single.

Werkman attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
