The St. Joseph Mighty Mites beat the Greensboro Naturals, 7-6, at Naturals Grounds. The Mighty Mites got a fine performance from first baseman David Pierce, who hit 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Jim Unknown earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 5 runs on 10 hits, with 3 walks and no strikeouts in 6.2 innings of work. The last-place Naturals have lost 4 consecutive games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ryan Patton? The St. Joseph left fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put the Mighty Mites on top, 4-3. For the game, Patton had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Pierce told the St. Joseph Today.
