Polecats Paste 6-2 Loss on Bears
A good performance from catcher Ronnie Arceri helped the Libertyville Polecats defeat the Traverse City Bears, 6-2. Arceri was 2-4 with 2 home runs for the Polecats. Nate Billesbach, the winning pitcher, is now 3-7. He went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 7 hits, while fanning 7 and walking 0. Libertyville, now 31-34, holds down third place in the Eastern AA Northern Division.

Libertyville used a clutch at-bat from David Jordan to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Polecats ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Jordan, "one at-bat at a time."
