Grand Rapids Topples Cottage City, 10-4
Behind the hitting of Rick Gruber, the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks stopped the Cottage City Cannonballers, 10-4. Gruber went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Jet Hawks. Eunice Bamberg earned the win to go to 7-3. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts in 5.1 innings of work. Grand Rapids has now won 4 straight.

Mike Hedger had a big bases-clearing double for the Jet Hawks in the bottom of the second inning. With Grand Rapids leading 4-2 and the bases loaded, he got a splitter from Israel Beristain, who is tied for 4th in the N-A in innings pitched with 86.1, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Jet Hawks ahead, 7-2.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Hedger.
