Monsters Deal Aurora 4-3 Defeat
Mobile Monsters starter Omar Cespedes found his groove in his team's 4-3 win over the Iceland Aurora. Hiromi Yoneda was called on to finish, recording his 11th save. Mobile is now 34-42, Iceland 39-37.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jamie McIntyre? The three-time All-Star McIntyre stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Mobile up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"The fans pay the tickets and help us do what we do, so we like to put on a show for them," McIntyre told the Mobile News.
