Traverse City Dealt 6-4 Defeat
The Corpus Christi Mermen beat the Traverse City Bears, 6-4, at Mermen Field. Jason Finch, in particular, was impressive. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. Corpus Christi reliever Justin Gravely picked up the win, raising his record to 2-0. Mike Gunter was tagged with the loss. Joe Townsend earned the save for Corpus Christi.

Finch had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a full count fastball from Mike Gunter, he banged a solo home run to right-center, giving the Mermen a 5-4 lead. It was the 7th home run of the year for Finch.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Finch.

Corpus Christi is now 39-28, Traverse City 22-45.
