Unicorns Victors, 5-2, at Little Rock
The Newport Unicorns called upon starter Raul Sauceda, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the Little Rock Golden Gophers, 5-2. Sauceda got the win, improving to 4-3. He gave up 4 hits and walked 3 over 6.1 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The defeat makes Little Rock 109-30.

A critical at-bat came in the top of the eighth inning when the Unicorns sent 20-year-old second baseman Mike Middlebrooks to the plate with the bases loaded. The youngster shook off the pressure and hit a run-scoring single, to put Newport on top, 4-2.

Newport manager Victor Sepulveda commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
