Traverse City Tops Washington, 5-1
Starting pitcher Jon Gunter had a solid game. He was a big reason the Traverse City Bears throttled the Washington Wildthings, 5-1. Gunter, the winner, moves to 2-2. He threw 7 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 4 and giving up 2 walks. Now 0-16, the 2023 Wildthings have played a subpar brand of baseball so far.

Traverse City used the hitting of Justin Carson to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Bears on top, 3-0. For the game, Carson had 1 home run and 1 single in 3 at-bats.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Carson. "It sure beats the alternative."
