Bears Roll to 9-2 Win Over Wildthings
Traverse City picked up a win at Greensboro Grounds, bumping off the Washington Wildthings, 9-2. Pitcher Chris Gonzalez was a major reason the Bears emerged victorious. Gonzalez picked up the win for Traverse City, going 6 innings. He gave up 1 run on 6 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. The triumph makes Traverse City 30-84.

Justin Grasso had a big 2-run home run for the Bears in the bottom of the third inning. With Traverse City trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a splitter from 21-year old right-handed pitcher Larry Bute and punished it. The result was his 1st home run of the season, which put the Bears on top, 2-1.

"I really like what we did out there today," Grasso said after the game.
