Skyliners Jolt Aurora, 5-0, with Late Rally
The New York Skyliners went home winners at Skyliners Stadium, thanks in large part to starter Matt Heydt. Heydt stifled the Iceland Aurora, enabling New York to grab the 5-0 win. John Clark, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 2.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 0 and walking 1. The win has New York at 8-6.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Shane Monken came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Iceland pitcher Ewan Moore, he hit a 1-2 changeup for a 2-run single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 2-0.

"Matt is a tough competitor," said New York manager Dan Danielson.
