Traverse City Beach Bums News Release
WASHINGTON, PA - The Traverse City Beach Bums'(17-22) out hit the Washington Wild Things(22-17), 5-3 but lost the game, 4-0.
In the second inning, after a walk and a single, Kyle Reese hit a three-run home run that cleared the right field wall, giving Washington an early lead.
