Aurora Earn 11-8 Victory at Thunder Wolves Stadium
In a high-scoring contest between Aurora and Tacoma, designated hitter Miguel Cerpa was a difference-maker. Cerpa distinguished himself in the 11-8 Aurora win. He was 2-6 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4. Jim Unknown went 7 innings, allowing 5 runs on 6 hits. The right-hander struck out 3 and walked 6. With the win, he's now 1-0 this season. The win puts Aurora at 16-33.

Aurora used the timely hitting of David Short to capture the win. The left fielder socked a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Paints ahead, 7-3. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said Short.
