Golden Gophers Pull Off Thrilling 12-9 Win in Extras
The performance of Dave Benavides proved critical in helping Little Rock beat Newport, 12-9, in 11 innings. The Golden Gophers designated hitter went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Jon Peterson, now 3-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. The win gives Little Rock a season record of 32-8.

Justin Teehan came through with a big-time hit for Little Rock. The shortstop smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 10-9. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Michael Kelleher.
