Polecats Turn Back Bears, 4-2
Libertyville Polecats starter Conroy Hill turned in an exceptional performance against the Traverse City Bears at Field of the Polecats, resulting in a Libertyville win, 4-2. Libertyville's winning streak has reached 4 games.

Libertyville took a 4-2 lead on Eric Schultz's 12th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Schultz hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Traverse City pitcher Jason Eppert visibly frustrated.

"Winning is great," Schultz said. "It's always just guys picking each other up -- if not me, then the next guy."
