Gainer Leads Bears to Win
The Traverse City Bears defeated the Washington Wildthings, 16-8. Catcher Mike Gainer deserved a large share of the credit. Gainer went 3-3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for the Bears. Chris Lockner earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 4 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 4 strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work. The overall performance of the 2026 Wildthings has been rotten so far.

Matt Strader had a big 3-run home run for the Bears in the bottom of the third inning. With Traverse City leading 3-2 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a fastball from 17-year old left-handed pitcher Terence Beggs and punished it. The result was his 6th home run of the season, which put the Bears on top, 6-2.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Washington manager Brendan Rees.
