Golden Gophers Drop Mighty Mites, 5-4
The 5-4 Little Rock win over St. Joseph was due in large part to Kevin Shimizu. The Golden Gophers second baseman was 2-2 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Golden Gophers, at 97-19, have a comfortable 19-game lead in their division.

The game turned with one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Shimizu hit a run-scoring double off Jim Unknown. It propelled the Golden Gophers into the lead, 2-1.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Shimizu.
