Jet Hawks Clip Rockets, 5-4, in CS Contest
In a crucial game, the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks put on their best show, beating the Huntsville Rockets by a final score of 5-4. Caleb Herd went 4 for 4 with 4 singles, while scoring 3. Grand Rapids and Huntsville are now tied at 2 wins apiece in the best-of-7 affair.

The decisive blow was delivered by Devin Lepp in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 19-year old right-handed pitcher Luke Walley to win the game for Grand Rapids. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place was rockin'," Lepp said.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Jet Hawks Ballpark in Grand Rapids.
