Bears Win at Corpus Christi, 5-3
Traverse City parlayed a decent outing from starter Rich Pumphrey into a solid win over the Corpus Christi Mermen. The final score was 5-3. Pumphrey, the winner, moves to 7-9. He threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 2 walks. Traverse City has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ted Hendrix? The Traverse City second baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Bears on top, 3-2. For the game, Hendrix had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Pumphrey told a Traverse City Gazette reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
