Howard goes 3-for-3 as Killers Squeeze Past Buckeye Local
Ross Howard helped his team muscle past the Buckeye Local Panthers, 7-6. In the game, the Crystal Lake designated hitter went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Brian Kyzar earned his 28th save in 30 chances. The victory gives Crystal Lake a record of 71-59.

Crystal Lake third baseman Dave Pollock contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With two down, he hit a slider to right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 68th hit of the season and put the Killers ahead, 7-1.

"Put the ball in play and good things will happen," said Howard.
