Led by 21-year-old Jim Unknown, the Spring Park Green Knights knocked off the Sikeston Shamrocks, 8-3. Unknown was 2-2 with a home run and 2 walks. He scored 2 times for the Green Knights. The winner was Jim Unknown in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jesus Beltre took the loss. Spring Park is now 48-76, Sikeston 53-71.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Zach Spitza didn't flinch. With runners on 1st and 3rd and Sikeston trailing 5-3, Spitza retired Andrew Kinsella to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Spitza, with a wink.
