Ambassadors Get Past Grand Rapids for 2-1 Win
Grand Rapids got a terrific performance from pitcher Chris Brown, but it wasn't enough to beat the Fremont Ambassadors. Fremont won the Jet Hawks Ballpark contest, 2-1. Brown threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Josh Kneeland, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1 innings. Brian Joiner finished the game for Fremont and earned his 8th save.

Fremont used the timely hitting of Mike Keener to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Ambassadors on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If you chase it, you need to get it," said Fremont skipper Dave Sullivan.

The Ambassadors improved to 21-18.
