Little Rock Beats Aurora in 11-Inning Thriller
The Little Rock Golden Gophers eked out a 2-1 win versus the Aurora Paints at Little Rock Grounds. Nobody did more than pitcher Danny Mendoza. He was terrific. Ronnie Downard, now 7-1, was credited with the win in 0.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 1. The Golden Gophers improved to 75-23.

Little Rock got a jolt from Eric Bruhns. The shortstop ripped a solo home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it brought the house down.

"We earned that one," said Bruhns.
