Unicorns Lose at Home, 7-4
Newport first baseman Justin MacKoul had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. MacKoul was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, even as Providence beat the Unicorns, 7-4. The winning pitcher was Juan Contreras. He's now 12-6. He went 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits for the Hex. Wally Jacob, credited with the save, is now 3 for 4 in save opportunities.

Providence used a clutch at-bat from Pete DiBiaso to capture the win. The catcher hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the third inning to put the Hex ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," DiBiaso told the Providence Daily.

The Hex are now 64-54, while the Unicorns fall to 46-72.
