Encarnación Lifts Crop Circles to 16-6 Triumph
The Iowa Crop Circles stopped the St. Paul Bearers, 16-6, at Casket County Stadium. The Crop Circles got a big game from Raúl Encarnación, who was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 4. Luis Santiago Jr., the winning pitcher, improved to 9-5. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 11 and walking 3. The second-place Crop Circles have won 4 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Kyle Christopher? The Iowa left fielder had a bases-clearing double in the top of the third inning to put the Crop Circles on top, 9-0. For the game, Christopher had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Crop Circles manager Andy Ward. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
