Rankins Homers Twice in 10-6 Suns Win
The Aurora Suns topped the Washington Wildthings, 10-6, at Red Barons Ballpark. Aurora designated hitter Danny Rankins was a spark plug for the offense. He slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Charlie Hunter was the winner. Over 6 innings, he yielded 3 runs on 4 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts. Josh Edwards finished the game for Aurora and earned his 7th save.

Aurora used the hitting of Willie Trevino to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Suns on top, 4-2. For the game, Trevino had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Win or lose, we pick each other up in this clubhouse," Rankins told the Aurora Daily News.

The 4th-place Suns sport a record of 66-67.
