Golden Gophers Hand Paints 13-3 Beat-Down
Rich Callanan knocked in 3 runs to help Little Rock beat Aurora, 13-3. Callanan produced 1 single and 1 home run. At 62-16, the Golden Gophers find themselves in first place in the Sub League 1 Central Division.

A key moment came with no one out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Callanan hit a knuckleball from Jim Unknown for a run-scoring single, putting Little Rock up, 2-1.

"I still think this team can play even better," Callanan told the Little Rock Observer.
