Hitmakers Get Past Ypsi, 3-2
The Motown Hitmakers picked up a win at The Upper Deck, taking down the Ypsi Yard Cats, 3-2. Starting pitcher Roger Dorn was a big reason why. Motown reliever Newton Abraham, who is a three-time All-Star, was credited with the win. His record goes to 1-0. Kirk Copeland took the loss for Ypsi. Fred Hinegarden, who finished 5th in the TTWB in saves with 48 in 2066, earned the save for Motown.

Had José Bustamante not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Bustamante hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Hitmakers.

"Roger pitched his heart out," said Motown manager Corey Slutsky.

The Yard Cats, 10-12, continue their sluggish start to the 2068 campaign.
