Trolls Pin 9-7 Loss on Grand Rapids
The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks got a sterling performance from left fielder Rick Gruber, but the Tyler Trolls still prevailed, 9-7. Gruber was 4-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Rodrigo Hernandez picked up the win, lifting his record to 4-3 on the season. He struck out 6 and walked 4 in 5.1 innings, while yielding 2 runs. With the win, Tyler pushed its record to 40-35.

Arturo Farias had a big 2-run home run for the Trolls in the top of the fourth inning. With Tyler leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from Chris Soto, who is tied for 7th in the N-A in quality starts with 7, and punished it. The result was his 16th home run of the season, which put the Trolls on top, 4-1.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Farias, "one at-bat at a time."
