Golden Gophers Score Late to Nip Thunder Wolves, 7-6
The Tacoma Thunder Wolves could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Ricardo Orozco into a win. Instead, the Little Rock Golden Gophers prevailed, 7-6. Orozco threw 5.1 innings of shutout ball. The second-place Golden Gophers improved to 93-29.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 23-year old right fielder Aaron Jacobs. Jacobs had a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Golden Gophers ahead, 6-5. For the game, Jacobs had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Jacobs said afterward that his team has grown over the course of the season, adding: "It feels good when a plan comes together."
