Golden Gophers Rally For 6-3 Win
Matt Osborne, who is tied for 7th in the SL1 with a 1.37 WHIP, propelled his team to victory over the Pikeville Cavalry. The final score was 6-3, Little Rock. Little Rock reliever Ronnie Downard picked up the win, raising his record to 3-0. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss. Gregg Daugherty closed it out for Little Rock, earning his 8th save.

Little Rock used the timely hitting of Michel DeRise to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Golden Gophers on top, 6-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I thought we competed really well," said Golden Gophers manager Michael Kelleher. "I thought the energy was really good."

The first-place Golden Gophers improved to 28-7.
