Jacobs, Golden Gophers Take Dramatic Game 2 for 2-0 Series Lead
The Little Rock Golden Gophers took a 2-0 lead in the League Championship Series on a walk-off at Little Rock Grounds. Rookie right fielder Aaron Jacobs, 22, excelled for the Golden Gophers. He was 3-5 with 2 doubles, while scoring 3.

Batting in the bottom of the tenth, 23-year old catcher Malcolm Garner had a real shot to win the game. Medford pitcher Victor Martinez was determined not to let it happen. But with no outs, Garner hit a run-scoring single. The Golden Gophers had a walk-off triumph.

"This place was rockin'," Garner said.

Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday at Ballpark of Medford in Medford.
