Bears Lose, 9-7, in 10
Kevin Hilfiker did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to spare the Traverse City Bears an extra-inning, 9-7 loss to the Aurora Suns at Suns Field. Hilfiker was 4-5 with 2 home runs and a double. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. With the win, Aurora raised its record to 40-30.

The decisive blow was delivered by Pete Lemish in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a 2-run home run off 22-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown to win the game for Aurora. The home crowd went nuts.

"We got the victory," said Lemish. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."
