Ramon Paz did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Newport Unicorns from being beaten, 6-4, to the Greensboro Naturals at Naturals Grounds. Paz went 2 for 4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Damian Garriga notched the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now sits at 3-5. The 5th-place Naturals are now 37-57, the Unicorns 35-59.

Jim Unknown drove in one run for Greensboro. With no one out and the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, Unknown had a clutch at-bat. Facing Newport hurler Seiichi Yamaguchi, he got hit by a pitch, driving in 1 run to give the Naturals a 5-4 lead.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Unknown told a Greensboro News reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
