Unicorns 10-2 Victors Over Aurora
Newport and Aurora got after it at Paints Park.

The Newport Unicorns beat the Aurora Paints, 10-2, at Paints Park. The win was due in part to shortstop Nate Ladnier, who was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Jesus Perez, the winning pitcher, is now 4-10. He went 7.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 3.

Early in the game, Ladnier had a 3-run home run for Newport. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Unicorns on top, 3-0.

Aurora manager Michael Wright called the blowout loss "not what we wanted."

After today's action, Newport sits at 34-57, while Aurora falls to 35-56.
