Wildthings Score Late, Clip Bears, 9-8
Traverse City got a terrific game from left fielder Paul Watson. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Washington, 9-8. Watson was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Washington reliever Jim Unknown got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Tomas Herrera was tagged with the loss. "Lousy" describes the Traverse City performance in the early going.

Washington got a jolt from Jim Kirk. The designated hitter ripped a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it brought the house down.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Kirk said.
