Polecats Top Bears in Extras, 12-10
The Libertyville Polecats grabbed a win, 12-10, over the Traverse City Bears in 11 innings at Field of the Polecats. Libertyville right fielder Tim Knight went 2 for 5 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Libertyville reliever Mike Corns was the winner. His record is now 4-2. The losing pitcher was Tomas Herrera. With the win, Libertyville goes to 29-23, while the Bears fall to 11-41.

Libertyville got a knockout punch from Jon Olejniczak. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It was terrific getting this win," Olejniczak said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
