Traverse City Hands Alcoa 7-4 Defeat
Justin Grasso was a vital contributor to the 7-4 Traverse City victory over Alcoa. The Bears left fielder was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Pat Potter converted his 2nd save in 3 tries. Traverse City, with the win, climbs to 33-89.

Traverse City grabbed the momentum in the top of the fifth, when Grasso hit a 3-run home run off Huang Chai. His 2nd home run of the season put the Bears out in front, 3-0.

"Not the sexiest win," said Bears manager Zach Hildebrant, "but I'll take it."
