Aurora Get Past Mobile for 2-1 Win
In a tight tilt between the Iceland Aurora and the Mobile Monsters, Robert Holbert was the deciding factor. The Iceland left-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Tim McCoy, credited with the win in relief, is now 4-3. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. With the win, the Aurora have a record of 35-35.

D.J. Roberts came through with a big-time hit for Iceland. The catcher smacked a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 2-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"The object of the game is to score more runs than they do," said Roberts. "Mission accomplished."
