Traverse City Gets 13-Inning, 11-7 Win
Due in part to center fielder Morton Ventura, the Traverse City Pit Spitters chopped down the Carolina Mudcats, 11-7, in 13 innings. Ventura was 4 for 7 with a triple and 2 doubles, while adding 6 RBI. Dwight Flores earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record is now 3-4. Traverse City is 8th in the East Coast League Mideast Division with a record of 25-33.

Neal Berry found himself in a pressure situation in the top of the 13th. Facing Carolina hurler Garrett Votta, the 21-year-old catcher hit a sacrifice fly. His 20th RBI of the season put the Pit Spitters on top, 7-6.

"Games like this one keep the antacid makers in business," quipped Carolina manager Robert Castro.
