Aurora 7-4 Winners Over Sicily
The Iceland Aurora cut down the Sicily Mafia by the score of 7-4, with the largest share of the credit going to shortstop Caesar Friis-Knutzen. Friis-Knutzen was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Aurora. Iceland has run its win streak to 5 straight.

Serge Migin, who leads the TOBA with a 1.066 OPS, had a timely hit in the bottom of the fifth inning. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, the Iceland right fielder hit a 2-run single. That put the Aurora in front, 4-3.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Iceland manager Dan Danielson.
