Libertyville shortstop Max Zuniga had a good game, even if his team did not. The Polecats dropped a 6-4 decision to Aurora at Suns Field. Zuniga slugged 2 home runs. Jimmy Guyton recorded the save, his 5th. The win puts Aurora at 32-15 this season.

Aurora first baseman Brian Phillips landed a blow when he belted a 3-run home run in the bottom of the sixth. It was his 6th home run of the season. With it, the Suns took a 6-2 lead.

Phillips told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.
