Bellavance, Polecats Too Much for Mermen
The Libertyville Polecats stopped the Corpus Christi Mermen, 14-7, behind an impressive performance from Matt Bellavance. The 23-year old catcher made life miserable for Corpus Christi pitching. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 7. Libertyville reliever Dave Leonetti picked up the win, upping his record to 2-1. Paul Garcia was saddled with the loss. The Mermen are now 6-9.

With Libertyville leading 10-7 in the bottom of the eighth, Bellavance batted against Corpus Christi pitcher Josh Edwards. Bellavance hit a fastball to left for a grand slam home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Polecats on top, 14-7.

"We're just going to try to build off this win," said Bellavance.
