Mobile Upended, 8-3, by Iceland
Iceland picked up a win at Mobile Park, bumping off the Mobile Monsters, 8-3. Pitcher Ken Roberts was a major reason the Aurora emerged victorious. Roberts, now 5-3, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing 1 run. With this game in the books, Iceland is 12-18, Mobile 18-12.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Serge Migin? The Iceland right fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Aurora on top, 2-0. For the game, Migin had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll build on this win," said Roberts.
