Jet Hawks Win, 7-4, at Huntsville
The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks downed the Huntsville Rockets, 7-4, at Ballpark of Austin. The Jet Hawks were led by Curt Holy. Holy was 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner in relief was Trevor Hill. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. He now owns a record of 7-5. Earning his 15th save for Grand Rapids was James Straughn.

Matthew Robertson was 1 for 4 with a double and a walk for Grand Rapids. With no one out and the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, Robertson, who leads the N-A in triples with 6, had a clutch at-bat. Facing Huntsville hurler Jason McCoart, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run to give the Jet Hawks a 5-4 lead.

"Baseball is about momentum," said Robertson, "and we feel we've got it in our favor after that win."

The third-place Jet Hawks bumped their record to 57-47.
