Golden Gophers Win Thriller, 7-6
The Little Rock Golden Gophers downed the Tacoma Thunder Wolves, 7-6. The hitting star was designated hitter Bill Leija. Leija was 2 for 3 with a home run and was hit by a pitch. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Golden Gophers. The winner was Little Rock reliever Gregg Daugherty, now 1-1. The loser was Jim Unknown. The Thunder Wolves fall to 7-15 and continue their lackluster start to the 2024 season.

Malcolm Garner was the walk-off hero for Little Rock. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Golden Gophers pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Said Garner: "What's not to like about a walk-off win?"
