Lenger Excels, But Paints Win
Tacoma got a terrific game from center fielder Ron Lenger. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Aurora, 11-8. Lenger hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 6. Aurora pitcher Jim Unknown got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Ricardo Orozco got the loss. Jim Unknown finished to wrap up his 1st save.

Early in the game, third baseman Hugo Ruiz had a grand slam home run for Aurora. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Paints on top, 6-2.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Ruiz, "this wasn't it."

Aurora occupies 5th place in the Sub League 1 Central Division at 15-33.
