Aurora Field was the site of a tense game between the New York Skyliners and Iceland Aurora.

Iceland right-hander Ken Roberts pitched his team to victory over the New York Skyliners at Aurora Field. The final score was 3-1. After today's action, Iceland sits at 41-37, while New York falls to 34-44.

Bryan Cook drew 3 walks in 5 plate appearances for Iceland. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring walk off Bobby Stamper. It was his 65th walk of the season.

"I put my work in and trusted the process," said Roberts.
