Unicorns Scratch Out 2-0 Win
Lorenzo Martinez, who is tied for 7th in the SL1 in wins with 4, never let the Naturals get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his fastball, to pitch the Unicorns to a win, 2-0. Martinez yielded no runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 7. His record improves to 4-4. Gary Lutz picked up the save for Newport, his 9th of the year.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the top of the sixth inning. That's when first baseman Andrew Ortiz hit a single. The Unicorns went on to win.

"I pretty much put my pitches where I wanted to," said Martinez.

The Unicorns improved their record to 21-22 by beating Greensboro.
