Mighty Mites Park was the site for Sub League 1 action featuring the St. Joseph Mighty Mites and Newport Unicorns.

The Newport Unicorns beat the St. Joseph Mighty Mites, 12-7, at Mighty Mites Park. Newport designated hitter John Aiello banged out 2 singles and 1 double, while driving in 3 runs. Newport reliever Danny Guerrero was the winner. His record is now 1-1. Hedde Castillo took the loss.

Newport used the clutch hitting of Santiago Ytuarte to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Unicorns ahead, 12-7. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a big one.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Ytuarte.

Newport, at 14-35, sits in last place in the Sub League 1 East Division.
