Crop Circles Roast Bearers, 12-2
The Iowa Crop Circles bested the St. Paul Bearers, 12-2, at Casket County Stadium. Sam Dixon was one of the standouts. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Mitsuzuka Ishihara, the winner, improved to 8-1. He held the Bearers to 2 runs on 6 hits over 5.1 innings, while striking out 7 and walking 4. The wins continue to add up for Iowa, with the latest making it 9 in a row.

Don McCormack, the slick-fielding second baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. McCormack contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Iowa up, 2-1.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" McCormack told the Iowa Herald. "You win just by scoring more runs."
