Golden Gophers Win, DeVaul 4-for-5
Paul DeVaul led Little Rock to a triumph over Newport. The final score was 17-13. The right fielder went 4 for 5, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 3 runs and added 5 RBI. The win went to Ben Winters in relief. His record improves to 1-2. Justin Hessel took the loss. Gregg Daugherty earned his 29th save in 31 chances.

With the clubs tied 9-9 in the bottom of the fifth and the bases loaded, Little Rock sent DeVaul to the plate. He got a full count fastball and drew a walk, driving in 1 run, to put the Golden Gophers on top, 10-9.

"This game had a little bit of everything," said DeVaul.

The Golden Gophers now own a record of 110-30.
