Polecats Come Back Late to Top Bears, 3-1
The Libertyville Polecats earned a close win over the Traverse City Bears, thanks in part to Craig Treinen. The Libertyville left-hander, who is tied for 4th in the E-AA in innings pitched with 146.1, played a key role in the 3-1 victory. Will Bonorden earned the save, his 8th, for the Polecats. Libertyville now sports a record of 59-60.

Libertyville took a 3-1 lead on Trent Liptak's 14th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Liptak hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Traverse City pitcher Miguel Gomez visibly frustrated.

Liptak told a Libertyville Observer reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
