Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the Newport Unicorns got the win.

Unicorns center fielder Mario Alvarez left his imprint on his team's 4-2 win over the Tacoma Thunder Wolves. Alvarez went 3-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Newport in the contest. Jesus Perez earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits in 3.2 innings. His record is now 7-6.

In the top of the first, Alvarez had a solo home run for Newport. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Unicorns on top, 1-0.

Said Tacoma manager Alfonso Estrada: "I'm sick and tired of losing."

Tacoma now owns a losing streak of 9 games.
