Athan Slugs Unicorns to 20-17 Win
Bill Athan was the difference-maker for the Newport Unicorns in what turned into a shootout with the Tacoma Thunder Wolves. Athan went 3-for-5 in the 20-17 Unicorns win. Chad Elder picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 3-1. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss. Carlos Palmas earned the save for Newport, his 13th.

Tommy Norwood came through with a big-time hit for Newport. The pinch hitter smacked a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 18-17. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"Job one," said Athan, "is get the job done."

The current losing streak for Tacoma has reached 4 games.
