Traverse City Beach Bums News Release
TRAVERSE CITY, MI - The Traverse City Beach Bums and Frontier Greys engaged in a pitchers' duel through nine innings, before the Greys plated four unearned runs in the top of the tenth, upending the Beach Bums 7-2 on Wednesday night.
Traverse City was first to score as Zach Kometani drove a two-run homerun over the left field wall putting the Beach Bums ahead in the 2nd inning.
That lead would last until only the 4th inning when J.J. Muse followed up with a two-run homerun of his own.
Beach Bums pitching settled in after the runs as combined Mike Devine and Matt Miller helped retire 17 of the next 18 batters bringing the game into the tenth inning for the second straight night.
The Greys took control of the game in the tenth scoring five runs all unearned due to two defensive miscues by the Beach Bums.
