Traverse City Beaten, 6-4, by Libertyville
The Libertyville Polecats locked up a win at Greensboro Grounds, knocking off the Traverse City Bears, 6-4. On the mound for Libertyville was right-hander Conroy Hill. He played a major role in the triumph. Libertyville reliever Gabe Thomas picked up the win to move to 4-4. Andrew Tanner suffered the loss. Joe Lilley closed the door for Libertyville, picking up his 8th save of the year.

Libertyville used the timely hitting of Aaron Went to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Polecats on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Said Libertyville manager Armando Cerda: "We squared some balls up."

The Polecats win now puts them at 59-71.
