Polecats Get Hard-Earned Win
The Libertyville Polecats overcame a good performance by Mesa third baseman Mark Stella to knock off Mesa, 7-6, at Field of the Polecats. Stella was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3. Libertyville reliever Luke Lodge picked up the win, raising his record to 4-2. Josh Buxton was tagged with the loss. Brian White earned the save for Libertyville, his 15th of the year.

Justin Sinclair took Mesa hurler Josh Buxton deep in the bottom of the eighth. His 3-run home run put the Polecats on top, 7-6. In all, Sinclair had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 5.

"We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Sinclair told the Libertyville Observer.

The Polecats are now 67-64, while the Razor Sharks fall to 74-57.
