Washington Beaten, 7-5, by Traverse City
The Traverse City Bears beat the Washington Wildthings, 7-5, at Red Barons Ballpark. The Bears got a fine performance from designated hitter Tommy Walker, who was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Washington has now lost 4 consecutive games.

Traverse City used the timely hitting of Cody Brown to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bears on top, 7-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Walker said.
