River Rats Take Nail-Biter Over U-21
The Columbia River Rats got a strong performance from pitcher Jim Unknown, who stymied the Athletic Club KC offense en route to a 5-2 win at Columbia Stadium. The second-place U-21 have lost 7 straight games.

Columbia won the game in the bottom of the tenth inning. That's when second baseman Marcos Rico hit a dramatic 3-run home run, bringing River Rats fans to their feet.

Rico said afterward that he was "glad the fans were treated to a good ballgame."
