Gordon Leads Golden Gophers to Win
The Little Rock Golden Gophers topped the Tacoma Thunder Wolves, 15-6, the lion's share of the credit going to catcher J.D. Gordon. On the day, Gordon was 1 for 3 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Golden Gophers. The win belonged to Adam Begue in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Jim Unknown took the loss for Tacoma. Little Rock improves to 96-26 with the win. They lead their division by 38 games.

Little Rock relied on the hitting of Jesus Garciduenas to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Golden Gophers on top, 6-4. For the game, Garciduenas had 1 triple and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Little Rock manager Michael Kelleher.
