Suns Lose to Bears in Walk-Off
The Traverse City Bears picked up a win at Greensboro Grounds, knocking off the Aurora Suns, 6-5. Starting pitcher Justin Bunt was a big reason why. The Suns, 8-8, continue their so-so start to the 2022 season.

Jamie Flowers was the walk-off hero for Traverse City. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bears pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"What a rush!" said a smiling Bunt.
