Alcoa Loses Again, 6-1
The Traverse City Bears got a good effort from starter Pat Potter in defeating the Alcoa Millionaires at Greensboro Grounds. The final score was 6-1. Potter, the winner, moves to 6-1. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. Alcoa now owns a losing streak of 7 games.

Paul Ruby had a big grand slam home run for the Bears in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Traverse City leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he sized up a fastball from 22-year old right-handed pitcher Gabe Lopez and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Bears on top, 5-0.

Said losing manager : "These are the grinding hard days that all good teams go through, and this is when we've got to stick together and believe in one another."
