Anglers Sunk by Aurora
Mounir Soulier pitched well, but his team, the Providence Anglers, still dropped a 4-3 decision to the Iceland Aurora at The Pond. Tim Siragusa recorded the save, his 10th. The win for the Aurora raised their record to 39-36.

Iceland used a clutch at-bat from Greg Ivany to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Aurora ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Providence manager Dan Danielson said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
