Aurora Falters Again, Loses, 9-7, to Newport
Good production from third baseman Tim Cruthirds helped the Newport Unicorns topple the Aurora Paints, 9-7. Cruthirds was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Unicorns. Newport reliever Manuel Pena got the win, raising his record to 3-5. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss. Newport has won 4 straight, while Aurora has lost 6 in a row.

Davis, California-born Carlos Ramos came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the seventh, with the bases loaded and the Unicorns trailing 7-6, he hit a 2-run single to center to put Newport on top.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Aurora manager Michael Wright.
