Battle Creek, MI- For the first time in franchise history the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders (20-14) reached 20 wins in the first half of the season after shutting out the Battle Creek Bombers (16-18) 4-0.

After a scoreless first inning Fondy would pick up two runs in the second. Jacob Adams (Ole Miss) would be credited with the RBI single and one more run would score on an error to the Bombers center fielder. For Adams he is really heating up for Fondy and now has hits in 10/11 games.

With two outs in the top of the 6th frame Tyler Wardwell (Duke) would drive in the third run of the ball game with a two out RBI single.

The bullpen for the Spiders was absolutely stellar tonight. Ben Probst (Iowa) who who earn the win tossed 1 2/3 innings allowed just one strikeout and tacked on four strikeouts. Michael Hope (Shippensburg) would be the third Spider used on the mound and he threw for three frames. Hope only allowed on hit and added four strikeouts.

Fondy would tack on an insurance run in the top of the 9th scoring on a wild pitch.
