Golden Gophers Get Clutch Win Versus Aurora
Getting offensive support from Shane Ramsey, the Little Rock Golden Gophers topped the Aurora Paints, 5-4. Ramsey went 1 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Golden Gophers. With the win, Little Rock upped its record to 86-26.

Little Rock used a timely hit from Chris Pinson to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Golden Gophers ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a difference-maker.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Aurora manager Michael Wright.
