Victory Over Unicorns Takes Little Rock to 56-16
The Little Rock Golden Gophers beat the Newport Unicorns, 5-0, at Little Rock Grounds. Starting pitcher Nick Kern was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. The winning pitcher was Kern, now 4-2. He tossed 6.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 4. The Golden Gophers, at 56-16, have a comfortable 20-game lead in their division.

The tide might have turned in the top of the fifth, had not Nick Kern made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Unicorns trailing 3-0, he retired Branden Werkman when the Newport second baseman struck out.
