Corpus Christi Upended, 8-4, by Traverse City
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Traverse City Bears and Corpus Christi Mermen.

Bears catcher Mike Gainer put his stamp on his team's 8-4 win over the Corpus Christi Mermen. Gainer was 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Traverse City in the contest. Kevin Kerns picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Brian Finkel suffered the loss. Mike Gunter collected save number 2.

Had Jayden Browne not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Browne hit a 2-run single. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Bears.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Gainer told the Traverse City Gazette.

The win has Traverse City at 13-20.
