Losing Streak Continues for Thunder Wolves with 11-5 Loss to Golden Gophers
The Little Rock Golden Gophers beat the Tacoma Thunder Wolves by a score of 11-5. Little Rock second baseman Dan McNamara deserved the lion's share of the credit. McNamara went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Golden Gophers. Ronnie Downard recorded the save for Little Rock, his 10th of the season. The losses continue to pile up for Tacoma, which has now fallen 17 times in a row.

With Little Rock leading 2-0 in the top of the sixth, McNamara hit a 2-run single off Tacoma hurler Brian Davis. It was the 159th hit of the season for McNamara and put his team ahead, 4-0.

"Winning a ballgame these days," losing manager Alfonso Estrada told reporters, "is harder than big game hunting without a gun."
