Polecats Spoil Great Performance by Watson
The Libertyville Polecats besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Traverse City left fielder Paul Watson by beating the Bears, 7-6, at Greensboro Grounds. Watson went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Craig Treinen notched his 4th save of the season. The victory gives the Polecats a record of 72-41.

The Polecats got a big hit from second baseman Jim Unknown. Facing Traverse City pitcher Jose Mendoza in the top of the sixth, Unknown pounded a run-scoring triple to left-center. His 1st triple of the season put the Polecats ahead, 5-3.

"I like our moxie," said Polecats manager Justin Thiede.
