Naturals Drop Golden Gophers, 10-8
In a high-scoring contest between Greensboro and Little Rock, second baseman Justin Freas was a difference-maker. Freas, who is tied for 8th in the SL1 in triples with 3, distinguished himself in the 10-8 Greensboro win. He was 3 for 5 with a triple and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The Naturals now have a record of 35-45.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Freas delivered big-time for Greensboro, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Ben Winters. The game-changing hit put the Naturals on top, 9-8.

"It was a solid team effort," said Freas after the game.
