Providence Upended, 4-1, by Little Rock
Little Rock and Providence duked it out and the Golden Gophers came out victorious.

The Providence Hex were defeated, 4-1, by the Little Rock Golden Gophers at Little Rock Grounds, even though Eric Kretzer pitched well for Providence. Pedro Jimenez closed out the game, earning his 1st save.

The Hex had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Golden Gophers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 18-year old first baseman Tom Ploutz came to the plate. Ploutz hit a solo home run on a first pitch cutter from Providence hurler Eric Kretzer. It was Ploutz's 2nd home run of the year.

"This is a very good team," said Ploutz. "We have the chance to do something special."

Little Rock has now won 5 in a row.
