Bears Lose Again, 10-6, to Suns
The Aurora Suns stopped the Traverse City Bears, 10-6, at Greensboro Grounds. The Suns got a big game from Pete Hurley, who went 2 for 3 with a triple and 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Mel Mercado, who is tied for 7th in the E-AA in wins with 4, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts. Stephon Diallo earned his 1st save, after closing out the game.

Hurley had a key at-bat in the top of the fourth to put Aurora in front, 2-0. With the bases loaded, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run off Traverse City pitcher Danny Arroyo.

"We're obviously playing with a lot of confidence," said Aurora manager Oscar Figeroa.

The winning streak has now reached 7 games for the Suns.
