Hex Drop 6-1 Decision to Golden Gophers
Little Rock used a superb performance from starting pitcher Ian McCullar to down the Providence Hex, 6-1. Little Rock reliever Ian McCullar got the win, raising his record to 4-2. Ed Gonell was tagged with the loss. The Golden Gophers now have a record of 33-8.

It could have been a different outcome for Little Rock, had it not been for David Anast, the 22-year old shortstop . Anast contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Little Rock up, 3-1.

"I liked his command," said Little Rock manager Jose Moreno. "Ian was throwing strikes."
