Aviators Earn Win with Late Rally
The North Carolina Aviators faced a tough opponent in New Jersey pitcher Danny Garza, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Johnson & Johnson Field by a final score of 5-4 in 11 innings. Garza went 6 innings and allowed 1 run. The Aviators saw their record improve to 72-68.

North Carolina used a timely hit from John Dant to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the 11th inning to put the Aviators ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Dant.
