Paints Get Clutch Win Versus Little Rock
Paints Park was host to some intense drama.

The Aurora Paints took Little Rock pitcher Brad Martin's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Paints Park. The final score had Aurora getting past the Golden Gophers, 3-2. Martin went 8.2 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 5. Eric White, 5-6, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3.1 innings.

Tim Massey was the walk-off hero for Aurora. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Paints designated hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This game had its share of tense moments," Massey said, postgame.

Aurora is now 55-63. Little Rock is 97-21.
