King Goes Off, But Suns Win
The Aurora Suns weathered an outstanding game by Washington second baseman Jordan King to topple the Wildthings, 12-11. King was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 4. Josh Edwards stitched up the save, his 2nd. The last-place Wildthings dropped to 18-81.

Danny Rankins went 1-4 with a walk. He scored 2 times for Aurora. The 23-year old left fielder had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 11-11 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jim Unknown. It was his 38th RBI of the season.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Rankins said.
