Little Rock Rallies to 6-3 Win
The Little Rock Golden Gophers beat the Newport Unicorns by a score of 6-3. Little Rock right fielder Shane Ramsey deserved the lion's share of the credit. Ramsey was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs for the Golden Gophers. The win gives Little Rock a season record of 77-20.

Little Rock used a clutch hit from Rich Callanan to snatch the win. The catcher belted a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Golden Gophers ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit, but it was huge.

"Today was a lot of fun," said Callanan.
