Greensboro Grounds was the site of quite a ballgame.

Traverse City starter Sean Finch pitched well against the Libertyville Polecats at Greensboro Grounds. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-4. The win lifts Traverse City to a record of 9-11.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Traverse City catcher Frank Radtke, facing Jim Unknown, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Bears the 5-4 win.

"Feels good to get the job done," Radtke said after the game.
