(Joliet, IL)- Tuesday night's game at Silver Cross Field was a hitting clinic, as the Gateway Grizzlies hammered their way to a 9-5 victory over Joliet, going for 16 hits against Joliet pitching.

Both teams scored a run in the first. Gateway struck early on a Rogelio Noris RBI double, and Kyle Maunus tied it for the Slammers on a single in the home half.

Gateway put three across in the third, led off by a solo home run from Antone DeJesus, followed up by a two-run single from Vladamir Frias, making it 4-1. Joliet put the game within one in their at-bat when Abel Nieves bombed a two-run homer. But the Grizzlies broke the game open in the fourth on a bases-clearing double by Noris putting the tally at 7-3, and added another later in the inning on a John Shelby single.

Joliet tacked on another pair in the fourth when Brad Netzel brought around Josh Lyon and David Fox to make it 8-5. Gateway notched another in the ninth to give the game its final score.
