Week 9
The Traverse City Bears are making news in the Lower Peninsula after sweeping their series against Chelsea and now own a 20-8 record. The final game of the set required a 3-run 11th inning homer by light-hitting David Gillian to give the Bears a 5-3 win. Gillian had two dingers in the game, batting in the 9th spot.
The other team that swept their series was the Ann Arbor Barn Owls, as they rolled over the Jiffies, knocking them down to third in the standings. The Barn Owls are in second, trailing TC by just two games.
Iron River Gulls finally lost but still won 2/3 and are trailing the Ironwood Mad Katz by 3 games.
Both +20 hitting streaks came to an end this weekend, and Matt DePasquale still leads the league in batting at .412.
Traverse City starting pitcher John Roberts has 9 straight Quality Starts for the Bears.
The league had a triple play this week (see graphic below).
