van Duren Helps Iceland Cruise to 12-3 Win
Huibert van Duren, who is tied for 3rd in the TOBA in doubles with 11, led Iceland to a triumph over Sicily. The final score was 12-3. The third baseman went 4 for 4, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 2 runs and added 4 RBI. With the win, Iceland upped its record to 23-22.

With Iceland leading 1-0 in the top of the first, van Duren hit a sinker from Pippo Ammanati for a 3-run home run. It was his 3rd home run of the season and put the Aurora ahead, 4-0.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Sicily manager Dan Danielson.
