Extra-Inning Win by Aurora Over Monsters
The Iceland Aurora withstood a good performance by Mobile first baseman Byron Ward to knock off Mobile, 5-4, in 12 innings. Ward slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Silvio Schaminée was called on to finish, recording his 1st save. With the win over Mobile, the Aurora improved to 30-26.

Iceland used the timely hitting of Dan Duncan to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Aurora on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Duncan. "You've got to get results."
