Grand Rapids Tags Newark with 9-1 Defeat
Starting pitcher Scott Barth did his part in helping the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks thwart the Newark Flyers, 9-1. Barth picked up the win for Grand Rapids, going 5 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 7-4. Ben Wiggins recorded the save, making him 1 for 1.

Grand Rapids used a timely hit from Isaiah Bunton to get the win. The left fielder delivered a bases-clearing triple in the top of the seventh inning to put the Jet Hawks on top, 6-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"A confident pitcher is a dangerous thing," said Grand Rapids manager Sadayuki Nishikawa. "That's what Scott is right now."

The win hiked the Grand Rapids record to 80-55.
