Jet Hawks Rally to Eke Out Win
The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks topped the Tampa Capitals, 7-6, at Capitals Ballpark. Grand Rapids first baseman Ben Porter was a spark plug for the offense. He was 4-5 with 4 singles and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The loss drops Tampa to 4-5.

The game was all tied up in the top of the 11th, until Porter delivered big-time for Grand Rapids, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off John Chapin. The game-changing hit put the Jet Hawks on top, 7-6.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Porter.
