Jet Hawks Take Down Flyers, 3-2
The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks, despite a fine performance by Newark pitcher John Decker, grabbed a 3-2 win at Jet Hawks Ballpark. Decker allowed no runs over 5.2 innings. The victory gives Grand Rapids a record of 66-36.

Grand Rapids got a critical at-bat from Jake Kipfer. The pinch hitter stroked a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was huge.

"This place was jumping at the end," Kipfer said.
