Golden Gophers Deal Naturals 9-7 Loss
The Little Rock Golden Gophers beat the Greensboro Naturals, 9-7, in 11 innings at Naturals Grounds. Tony Martinez, in particular, was impressive. He went 4 for 6 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Jeremy Harrison, now 4-3, was credited with the win in 2.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Greensboro is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 8 in a row.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Martinez delivered big-time for Little Rock, stroking a dramatic 2-run double off Jonathan Serrato. The game-changing hit put the Golden Gophers on top, 9-7.

"We need to focus on the fundamentals," said Greensboro manager Nick Kendrick.
