Winchester starter Brad Bixby ran into little resistance from Traverse City hitters, as his team cruised to victory, 9-2. It was the 11th win in 16 games this year for the defending champion Mountaineers, who are picking up where they left off.

Bixby delivered a quality start for Winchester. The 6-foot-2 right-hander allowed no earned runs on 2 hits over 7 innings of work.

"Brad has got a slow heartbeat," said Winchester manager Mitchell Young. "He doesn't panic or anything."
