Jet Hawks Rally Late to Nip Dust Devils
Juan Medrano did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Kansas City Dust Devils from being beaten, 8-7, to the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks at Kansas City Grounds. Medrano was 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times. With the win, Grand Rapids raised its record to 43-25.

The result might have been different, had it not been for 23-year old first baseman Mike Hedger. Hedger had a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Jet Hawks ahead, 8-7. For the game, Hedger had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Our goal is to improve each and every day," Hedger told the Grand Rapids Gazette.
