Flyers Wiggle Past Grand Rapids, 8-7
The performance of Bryan Valenta proved critical in helping Newark beat Grand Rapids, 8-7, in 10 innings. The Flyers designated hitter went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Dustin Miller picked up his 12th save of the season. Newark is now 32-39, Grand Rapids 44-27.

The game was at a stalemate until first baseman Jose Mora came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Grand Rapids pitcher Eddie Clickner, he hit a 2-2 cutter for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Newark on top, 8-7.

"It was terrific getting this win," Mora said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
