Jet Hawks Victorious at Fremont, 6-1
Grand Rapids pitcher Chris Soto had a large part in his team subduing the Fremont Ambassadors, 6-1. The opposition could never mount much of a rally against the right-hander. Grand Rapids goes to 3-2.

Grand Rapids used a clutch at-bat from Rick Gruber to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Jet Hawks ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Good baseball players make you a smarter manager," said Grand Rapids manager Sadayuki Nishikawa.
