Aurora Need Extra Frames to Get Past Monsters
The Iceland Aurora defeated the Mobile Monsters in 10 innings, 7-6, in part because of second baseman Bryan Cook. Cook was 2 for 3 with a home run and 2 walks for the Aurora. Ewan Moore picked up the win, improving his season record to 7-7. He struck out 4 in 9 innings. Tim McCoy closed the door for Iceland, picking up his 1st save of the year.

Iceland needed the clutch hitting of D.J. Roberts to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Aurora on top, 7-6. For the game, Roberts had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Iceland skipper Dan Danielson.

The Aurora, now 37-35, have won 5 in a row.
