Unicorns Use Late Score to Top Thunder Wolves, 9-8
The Newport Unicorns withstood a fine game by Tacoma first baseman Matthew Northern at Chanticleers Ballpark, to upend the Thunder Wolves, 9-8. Northern went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Mark Achord picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Steve Cleary suffered the loss. The Unicorns raised their record to 57-76.

The decisive blow was delivered in the bottom of the ninth when Glenn Bonanni hit a run-scoring double off 18-year old left-handed pitcher Steve Cleary to win the game for Newport. The home crowd went wild.

"It's great when the crowd goes berserk," Bonanni said.
