The Traverse City Bears faced a tough opponent in Libertyville pitcher Jim Unknown, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Greensboro Grounds by a final score of 5-2. Unknown went 6.2 innings and allowed no runs. Traverse City pitcher Carter Coccaro got the win, upping his record to 2-0. Dave Leonetti got the loss. Libertyville is 9-10 after the defeat.

Traverse City went in front, 4-2, on David Crawford's 4th double of the season. The bases-clearing double, which Crawford hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Libertyville pitcher Dave Leonetti visibly perturbed.

Traverse City manager Zach Hildebrant praised his team's "energy."
