New York Slaps 8-5 Loss on Iceland
New York picked up a win at Skyliners Stadium, bumping off the Iceland Aurora, 8-5. Pitcher Matt Heydt was a major reason the Skyliners emerged victorious. The loss makes Iceland 26-29.

Mario Maldonado had a big grand slam home run for the Skyliners in the bottom of the fourth inning. With New York leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he sized up a slider from 29-year old left-handed pitcher John Hahn and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Skyliners on top, 8-1.

"Matt gave us everything he had," said New York manager Dan Danielson.
