McNamara Earns Praise as Golden Gophers Topple Naturals, 8-1
Behind the hitting of Dan McNamara, the Little Rock Golden Gophers stopped the Greensboro Naturals, 8-1. McNamara was 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 6 for the Golden Gophers. Brad Martin, the winning pitcher, is now 12-1. He went 7.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 7 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 1. Little Rock, at 99-24, is 15½ games up in the Sub League 1 Central Division.

With Little Rock leading 1-0 in the top of the first, McNamara hit a curveball from Kevin Augustine for a grand slam home run. It was his 27th home run of the season and put the Golden Gophers ahead, 5-0.

"This game will humble you real quick," said Greensboro manager Nick Kendrick.
