Libertyville Upended by Aurora, 4-3
Jose Casas was a major factor in the 4-3 Aurora win over Libertyville. The Suns shortstop was 3-3 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2. Josh Maughan wrapped it up, recording his 2nd save. Aurora is 51-27 and Libertyville, with the loss, 36-42.

Aurora used a clutch at-bat from Joe Handler to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Suns ahead, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Nice to keep our winning streak intact," said Handler.
