The Grand Rapids Jet Hawks beat the Newark Flyers, 12-8, in 10 innings at Newark Fields. Grand Rapids third baseman Rodrigo Velez had an outstanding performance. He belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 5. The losses continue to pile up for Newark, which has now fallen 11 times in a row.

In the top of the tenth, Velez hit a tie-breaking grand slam home run to help the Jet Hawks capture the win.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Matt Conners told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
