Curt Holy, who is tied for 8th in the N-A in hits with 116, chipped in a 2-run home run for Grand Rapids in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Grand Rapids manager Sadayuki Nishikawa. "It's usually not just one thing."
