Rockets Deal Jet Hawks 3-1 Defeat
Huntsville turned a good effort from starter Orlando Gonzalez into a win over the Grand Rapids Jet Hawks at Jet Hawks Ballpark. The final score was 3-1. The loss puts Grand Rapids at 12-11.

Huntsville used a well-timed hit by Bob Sallee to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the second inning to put the Rockets ahead, 1-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Orlando gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Huntsville skipper Alec Roller.
