Kipfer Stars for Jet Hawks in 9-1 Win
The 9-1 Grand Rapids win over Newark was due in large part to Jake Kipfer. The Jet Hawks designated hitter was 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Ben Wiggins, the winning pitcher, improved to 4-1. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 3 hits and no runs, while striking out 8 and walking 1. After today's action, Grand Rapids sits at 33-19, while Newark falls to 29-23.

Grand Rapids used a well-timed hit by Leo Gracia to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Jet Hawks ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"It all depends on which version of our team shows up," said Gracia. "When we put it all together, I think we're a great team."
